Just learned that LightDM knows how to launch a VNC server, thought I'd try it out.
trusty: apt-get install gnome-session-flashback gnome-session-bin /trusty-proposed libgnome-desktop-3-7/trusty-proposed tightvncserver utopic: apt-get install gnome-session-flashback gnome-session-bin /utopic-proposed unity-settings-daemon/utopic-proposed tightvncserver cat > /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [VNCServer] enabled=true width=1366 height=768 depth=24 ^D service lightdm restart Launching vncviewer on another machine presents the LightDM login screen, and logging into a GNOME Flashback (Metacity) session works.
