Title:
  VNC (vino) doesn't operate until a particular user is logged in

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Vino doesn't start until a particular user is logged in, and that user
  has "desktop sharing" enabled. Consequently, unless "auto log-in" is
  set for a user, and "desktop sharing" is enabled for that user, there
  is no way to use VNC (vinagre) to log-in to a remote Ubuntu system.
  Vino should be operable at the log-in phase (lightdm) to enable the
  very basic functionality of remote access to a Ubuntu desktop system.

  My suggestion is to have a way to start vino at the point where
  lightdm is started. Even if I had to restart vinagre after logging in
  via lightdm, at least it would be possible to remotely access the
  desktop environment.

  Alternatively, I have submitted a bug report on the fact that "auto
  log-in" only functions on initial bootstrap - it doesn't function
  after log-out.
