This was a PEBKAC issue. I was opening the Unity sharing control panel
instead of the GNOME sharing control panel.
I have no idea why the Unity sharing control panel is still on my computer. I
thought unity was gone. ;-)
Is it safe to remove it?

Title:
GNOME screen sharing completely borked with recent Mantic updates
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The most recent Mantic turned off Screen Sharing, which was previously
turned on.
When I go to turn it on in the sharing control panel, i see that
sharing is completely disabled, i.e., the rocker switch at the top of
the window is off, presumably because the only kind of sharing I had
enabled was screen sharing, i.e., I didn't have media sharing enabled,
so presumably once screen sharing was turned off sharing in general
turned off.
So I turn that top rocker switch back on, and now I need to configure
screen sharing, which still says it's off, so I click on that.
The window that comes up says VNC, which is *VERY* strange since we
quite a while ago switched from VNC to RDP, right? Why has it reverted
to VNC?
But in any case I can't do anything at this point. The rocker switch
in the upper left corner of the screen sharing pop-up won't let me
turn it on. The rocker switch next to my network connection won't let
me turn it on. And there's no way to close the pop-up! I have to kill
the settings app to make it go away at this point.
This is bad.
