To make x11vnc always attached to the the X server including the login
screen you will need to add a command to a display manager startup
script. Please consider the security implications of this! Besides
having the VNC display for the X session always available, there are
other issues: .e.g. if you run the tkx11vnc gui (via say -gui or -gui
tray), then the gui controls (insecure) are available on the physical
X display before anyone has logged in.
The name of the display manager startup script file depends on desktop

is passed to the gui toplevel. This is the icon in
icon/tray mode, or the full gui otherwise. You can
also specify width and height, i.e. WxH+X+Y, but it
is not recommended. In "tray" mode the geometry is
ignored unless the system tray manager does not seem
to be running. One could imagine using something like
