Bug Description
Binary package hint: vino
I have disabled remote desktop access in vino-preferences, but still something called "vino-session" (which doesn't have a manual page, btw) is started, and keeps on running in the background, every time I login.
As far as I can see, it doesn't do anything but consume memory and an occasional CPU cycle, and I think it shouldn't be started/running at all unless remote desktop access is enabled.

This happens because vino on Ubuntu (which was merged from debian) is compiled with --enable-session. Without that flag, the process responsible for start/stop the deamon is gnome-session.
I don't know if Ubuntu developers would consider this as a bug. So, Sebastien, it's up to you to fix or to invalidate this bug.
