Comment 3 for bug 997699

The package in precise-proposed fixes this specific crash—thanks!

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651960 means Share My Desktop is still broken out of the box. That bug is fixed in vino 3.5 but the patches were not applied to 3.4 because they add a translatable string to the --help output. Without those patches, users must open Desktop Sharing preferences and tick [×] Allow other users to view your desktop (plus at least one of the first two Security options to avoid being a gaping vulnerability on untrusted networks); otherwise, Share My Desktop silently fails.

So backporting those patches would be nice to have but I understand that it's more work :)
