Advantages of gnome session:
* Here you can open number of terminals.
* When you run any application in this mode and suddenly close this session also ,no problem,application will run in server side only(i,e.. application will not disconnect).Again when you open VNC (application will be continuous running).This is the advantage.

Note:when you use xmanager(when you close the session,application will disconnect) but in VNC application will not disconnect.
