Bug Description
Vino-server is what is impacted. I believe what triggers this is related to customizing via vino-preferences. Afterwards, vino will not launch the server. A similar bug was reported on Oneiric and older, but I believe the bug report was marked as invalid due to it not having nearly enough info. The notification area icon will not stay. It will appear after startup, and quickly disappear. VNC is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE in every FOSS application I've tried on Ubuntu 13.04. From the GNOME Remote Desktop Client to Remnima, nothing works. Worse yet, none of the proprietary clients/servers such as Splashtop work either. The only remote desktop tool working is Teamviewer, and that runs under WINE. So remote desktop is borked on both my desktop and laptop. I will copy and paste some debug below:

Worst of all, I am now unable to assist a family member with a crashing Windows 7 PC. And I believe running this command on the desktop generated slightly different output. I belive their was a buffer overflow leading to some memory corruption resulting in a crash. My Ubuntu box has been unusable completely in an area for the first time in many years. Please fix this, and also I ask of anyone else to attempt to see if this bug can be triggered on all other supported distros (Precise especially, as well as Quantal and Saucy, which is in development)
Some more details:
Ubuntu Release:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04
Also, I'm running the 64 bit version.
Package version:
apt-cache policy vino
vino:
Installed: 3.6.2-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 3.6.2-0ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 3.6.2-0ubuntu4 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
What I expected to happen:
No crashing on launch from the GUI, terminal, or on startup.
What happened:
Already described above. In short, Desktop sharing preferences launchable via vino-preferences does not stick in the system tray, nor do any remote desktop clients I've used work on either computer, since the server and client are crashing on both. Please fix this issue. My computer is severely neutered by this.

This bug has been confirmed as specific to the patched version of Vino that Ubuntu uses. So the ball is now completely in Ubuntu's court.
