I recall reading somewhere that newer versions of Gnome dont use it,
rather
they use (quoting from defucnt memory) Vinagre, and something about how it
is integrated into gnome. I think if you look at the full netstat you'll see
another port open when you enable gnome's remote desktop.

Subject: Controlling vino-server from command line
[Pointers to a better list welcome.]
I'm able to ssh into a remote machine, and once connected I want to
enable vino-server.
On Ubuntu I can use the System->Preferences->Remote Desktop to
enable the vino-server. But, if I use gconftool-2 to toggle the
enable/disable key it sometimes doesn't change.
Doesn't help me if I only have ssh access.
$ sudo netstat -tnlp | grep vino
tcp6 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 6351/vino-server
$ gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false
$ sudo netstat -tnlp | grep vino
tcp6 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 6351/vino-server
Yet, on another machine I'm able to toggle it:
mose...@bumby2:~$ sudo netstat -tnlp | grep vino
tcp6 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 31503/vino-server
mose...@bumby2:~$ gconftool-2 -s -t bool
/desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false
mose...@bumby2:~$ sudo netstat -tnlp | grep vino
mose...@bumby2:~$
Does using the Gnome menu to enable the remote desktop server do
something more than just toggle the gconf setting?
Is there a trick to running vino-server from the command line (once I
ssh in)?
Thanks,
