However the 'no tear' workaround I tested is not a solution for people
who use an external screen, because of this other bug 1410930

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vino

  Vino, the built in VNC server in Ubuntu, has had a problem for many
  releases where it won't update the display when connected remotely if
  compositing is enabled.

  I honestly don't know why it was shipped with this version since
  compositing is now required and enabled by default, but Vino doesn't
  work if compositing is enabled.

  After upgrading to Natty there is no user-facing way to disable
  compositing, so the built-in remote control application is now
  completely useless.

  This is a core functionality of a desktop operating system and it has
  been broken in Ubuntu for several major releases ( see bug 353126
  which was opened on 2009-4-1).

  If if it's not a core functionality to everyone and that's just my
  opinion, it doesn't make any sense to ship a desktop OS with a broken
  remote control service. I don't know of any other desktop OS that
  ships with a remote desktop functionality that is completely broken
  out of the box.
