I'm seeing the same thing .. it appears to be the same timeout as the
display -- when the display switches off the x11vnc server needs a stop and
(re-)start.  WLAN setting under Connectivity is indeed shown as Indefinite.

[I am using N800 out of the box with the
RX-34_2007SE_3.2007.10-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM update; no extras installed yet
other than osso-xterm and ooRexx.  RedPill mode enabled.]

It's the VNC client-server connection that drops, not necessarily the WLAN.
