Unfortunately, in Ubuntu 12.10, they removed Unity 2D, and without Unity 2D, you can't run Unity in a VNC session. Unfortunately, there is no workaround that enables Unity to be used with TurboVNC on an Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.xx system. The only workaround is to install the "Gnome Fallback" window manager (sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback). TurboVNC will use that if it detects that it is available. You can also install a third-party window manager like Xfce and edit ~/.vnc/xstartup.turbovnc so that it uses the third-party WM.
