Bug description:
  There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to force LightDM's VNC server
  to listen on only specified interfaces, most notably localhost. This
  creates a security issue, as the best and most secure way to access a
  VNC server is through an SSH tunnel where the client will only connect
  to its localhost on a particular port having all connections through
  the tunnel to the server's localhost port.

  If there is a proper way to do this or some sort of work-around, I
  would be very interested in how to do so. As of right now, this makes
  LightDM's VNC server unusable for me.
