*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
On Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland, once you activate, from the Settings
application, Sharing, and Remote Desktop Sharing, it is not possible to
permanently deactivate it on the GUI.
While it is still possible to deactivate it temporarily, this will only
last until next reboot. After a reboot, Remote Desktop Sharing will be
active again.
This means that a service which provides remote access and system
control, which the user has chosen to deactivate, actually remains
active / respawns, and available for remote login. This behavior is
unexpected to the user and can have security impact.
