Currently, I believe it's destroyed.  It's like logging out of any other
X-Window session.

However, VNC or the Stateless Linux Project might be something to look into.
Stateless was mentioned over on the K12OSN mailing list this month.
See the thread, here:

I know Doug Barbieri has done something like this, using VNC, unless I'm
misunderstanding something.  His "VNC Selector" app was made for the
particular project:

Good luck!
