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.
