  Summary
  =======
  1. From the Ubuntu 22.04 live session (or a clean install), Open the Settings 
app.
  2. Open the Sharing page. It looks like Remote Desktop sharing is turned on.
  
  On further investigation, it is not actually on.
  
  More details
  ============
  This issue affects both the live session and the initial install. (Probably 
would show up for any new user.)
  
  1. Before opening the Settings app, the gnome-remote-desktop service is
  running. I think this is expected.
  
  $ systemctl status --user gnome-remote-desktop.service
  \u25cf gnome-remote-desktop.service - GNOME Remote Desktop
       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-remote-desktop.service;

  Apr 20 08:07:44 ubuntu2204 gnome-remote-desktop-daemon[1611]: libEGL warning:

  Apr 20 08:07:44 ubuntu2204 systemd[1483]: Started GNOME Remote Desktop.
  
  Also, the RDP enable gsettings key is turned off.
  
  $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.remote-desktop.rdp enable
  false
  
  2. When I open the Sharing page, the gsettings key turns to true
  
  and systemctl shows me an error where it tried to enable RDP:
  Apr 20 08:12:50 ubuntu2204 gnome-remote-de[1611]: RDP TLS certificate and key 
not configured properly
  
  3. So then I open Remote Desktop Sharing and turn it off then on and
  then systemctl shows me that is working correctly.
  
  Apr 20 08:14:32 ubuntu2204 systemd[1483]: Starting GNOME Remote Desktop...
  Apr 20 08:14:32 ubuntu2204 gnome-remote-desktop-daemon[2801]: libEGL warning:

  Apr 20 08:14:32 ubuntu2204 systemd[1483]: Started GNOME Remote Desktop.
  Apr 20 08:14:32 ubuntu2204 gnome-remote-de[2801]: RDP server started
  
  Note in particular the final line: "RDP server started". That tells us
  whether RDP is running or not. There would be a similar line for VNC.
  This line didn't show in the initial state in step 1.
  
  What should happen
  ==================
  Remote Desktop should show off by default and should not attempt to turn on 
just by opening the Sharing page.
  
  There is no gsettings for the Sharing master on/off switch (in the
  headerbar). It shows as On if any of the services are On. None of the
  services should be On by default so this should show Off by default.
  
- Guesses and Further Investigation Needed
- ======================================
- I think there may have been a logic bug when the RDP sharings were backported 
from gnome-control-center 42. This code was originally in gtk4 so some 
rewriting was necessary.
+ A Bug Trigger
+ =============
+ It looks like this bug was triggered by
+ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/commit/7f4ef31fd3
  
- I didn't see this issue in a Fedora 36 Beta instance. Sharing showed off
- by default.
- 
- Also, we did add this patch:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/commit/7f4ef31fd3
- I think that patch is necessary but maybe that changed what 
gnome-control-center was expecting to see.
+ I have reported this issue to GNOME. That patch fixes an important issue
+ so maybe we need to keep that patch but fix the logic in gnome-control-
+ center.
