Bug Description

This is in Ubuntu 18 Desktop,

This used to work fine in Ubuntu16.

If I boot without a screen attached, I can attach via screen sharing, but the left hand bar is missing and nothing on the top menu bar is responsive.
Attaching a screen after that does not help, something is badly wedged, requires a reboot.

This is an Intel CPU with Intel graphics, nothing special, running a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu18.

In fact, even if I boot __with__ a screen, if I later unplug that monitor, weird stuff starts happening to my session (dragging windows leave behinds "trails", clicking on menus and stuff stops responding, etc)

And by "my session" I mean my remotely logged in via screen sharing session
