This being the case, then at least "the developers"/Canonical should
take the responsibility to produce the script you mention, "such that
when someone connects to a machine that has desktop effects enabled, the
effects could be automatically switched off for that remote control
session, and then switched back on after disconnect."

They should include this script as part of the Lucid distro, and make it
available in the repositories for 9.10, 9.04, etc.  It should be enabled
by default with an option to disable it (though I don't know why anyone
would want to).

It may not be a "fix", but it would enable VNC/Remote Desktop to
function in a straightforward way -- without having to know about this
problem and what its workaround is.  I seriously doubt anyone feels the
need to have compiz doing eye candy tricks while using VNC, so it might
even be considered a desirable "feature" even after this issue is fixed.
