this doesn't seem to work quite right. If I have screen sharing turned on in my servers system preferences, and log in using screen sharing and disable it using the system preferences GUI, I lose the connection.
If I do the same, but instead of using the GUI I delete the file from the terminal, the connection remains and I can disconnect and reconnect. I shouldn't be able to do this if the screen sharing plist file is gone. Any ideas?

I recall hearing at WWDC about how the plists are read in by the GUI tools using Cocoa events (or Apple Events called by a Cocoa app) this is the case for many plist controlled items like screensaver password and some others. So when you delete a plist you need a way to fire of the right event to the system so it refreshes. (No I haven't Googled it but there's the hint :)
