x-forwarding

I'm having trouble with the title on this one, please edit.

When users connect to a VM with VNC/NX/RDP/other-tla they get a persistent desktop in a window .
When they connect using ssh -X forwarding they get a local window managed by the local windo-manager that is not persistent.

1: is there a way to run a program on the VM and have it managed locally AND have it persistent?
2: can the client be on windows or OS-X?

ps: in this case the vm's are running Ubuntu
