Bug is still valid for Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. Enabling "Screen Sharing" in
control center does not activate Vino VNC server. Activating Vino VNC
server by terminal "vino-preferemces" and selecting "Allow others users
to view/control desktop" also does not work. Same by opening dconf
editor (org/gnome/desktop/remote acces) checking "enabled" does not
start vino.
Only solution that did work for me:
- Everytime after a restart following command by terminal:
"/usr/lib/vino/vino-server"
- Automatic start Vino: add "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server" to Startup Applications
Preferences.
Did cost me some time to solve this. Hope this (duplicate) bug (and
orginal bug #1518813) will be solved as this seems very user friendly.
(Added my comment to this bug as I found this a much better description
of the issue than description with #1518813. Maybe even add "VNC" to the
description? I think other users will find this (temporary) solution
therefor quicker.)

Title:
Enabling "Screen Sharing" doesn't activate vino-server in 15.04
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
New
Status in vino package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This is confirmed on multiple machines running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 with
GNOME 3.14.4. When I to into System Settings > Sharing, and enable
"Screen Sharing" then put in all of my desired configuration settings,
it doesn't automatically start vino-server to begin the sharing
service, even after system reboot. I started the service manually by
installing dconf-editor and going to org.gnome.desktop.remote-access
and checking the box labeled "enabled". Immediately - verified by
looking at System Monitor - the "vino-server" service started, and I
was able to access my PC remotely from other machines.
In short -
What was expected to happen - by enabling "Screen Sharing" from System
Settings > Sharing, I would be immediately capable of accessing the
shared PC from remote workstations on my network.
What actually happened - I had to start the service manually via
dconf-editor AFTER enabling "Screen Sharing" in System Settings (I did
not test enabling before making changes in System Settings, however).
Feel free to contact me if any additional info' is needed.
Cheers.
