actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
i would uninstall vnc, see if it helps.

Why does he need remote access? If he is accessing apps you can use x
forwarding (for example). File access can be securely configured using
sshfs and can be mounted when the user logs in as a local folder. I
would not use vnc over the www as their is no encryption so any attacker
can simply harvest the packets and see what is going on VERY easily.

if the uninstall vnc doesn't help, try:

sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get
install gdm

I suggest you review why you need vnc, there is often a better solution.
Especially over WAN
