I can more or less make gnome-flashback work by patching 
xstartup.turbovnc as follows:


*** xstartup.turbovnc   2015-06-03 13:35:25.692670848 -0500
--- xstartup.turbovnc.new       2015-06-03 13:35:54.888565337 -0500
***************
*** 27,30 ****
--- 27,34 ----
       fi
     done
+   if [ -f 
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback-metacity.session ]; then
+       xprop -root -f _GNOME_SESSION_ACCELERATED 32c -set 
_GNOME_SESSION_ACCELERATED 1
+       exec gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-metacity
+   fi
   fi
   if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then


It is at least usable enough to allow you to right-click and open a 
terminal, but the menu bar is not displayed for some unknown reason.

I recommend using Mate instead.  'sudo apt-get install 
mate-desktop-environment' and then put the following at the top of 
xstartup.turbovnc:

   exec /usr/bin/mate-session
   exit


I am happy to fix whatever issues you encounter when using Mate/Marco, 
but I don't think the gnome-flashback issues are going to be fixable 
with this version of Ubuntu.  I can look into those issues in more 
detail when 16 LTS is released, because I will have some confidence that 
whatever fix I come up with will last more than 6 months.
