Title:
  Unity does not play well with VNC servers

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Attempting to use a VNC server, I have discovered that some menus and
  compiz effects do not work well.  Specifically, sometimes Unity's
  drop-down menus from the top panel do not show up at all, or are
  incorrectly cropped, as can be seen here:

  Other compiz effects are rendered incorrectly, as can be seen below,
  where the top panel's drop shadow is rendered over a terminal window's
  title:

  Both Vinagre and x11vnc have been tested and found to suffer from the
  same effects, regardless of the settings used.  (Many options to
  x11vnc have been tried, including the -noxdamage option, which is
  known to be a required option for using a VNC service to a session
  running Comiz.)

  These effects are not seen in the "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)"
  session, where VNC service operates perfectly and as expected.
