Screen Sharing is a new feature in Leopard that allows you to control machines that appear in your side bar. However, you can actually open Screen Sharing and use it in a similar manner as how you use an application like Chicken of the VNC (although not with an identical feature set). The way you go about this is to create a shortcut to the Screen Sharing application bundle from the /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app file somewhere else, such as the Applications folder, or maybe just put it in your dock. Then you can run the following command:
defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug 1
You will now be able to open Screen Sharing on its own as well as continue using it from the side bar.
