In addition to having refresh problems with ATI driver as mentionned in LP 57156 vino provides only a way to control an existing session and not to create a new one remotely.

Here is on current feisty a step by step reproducer:

1) update to latest version of vnc4server
$ sudo apt-get install vnc4server
2) create a password:
$ vncpasswd
(enter any password twice)
3) modify the ~/.vnc/xstartup file so vnc starts in full desktop mode (uncomment the first two lines)
#unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
4) run
$ vncserver
(wait a few seconds, you can tail -f the mentionned log file)
4) with the terminal server client open a VNC connection to localhost:1
(or localhost:X as mentionned in vncserver output)
enter the password provided in 2)
5) you don't have a gnome session but just an xterm (and twm if you apt-get install twm)
we'd like to be able to launch a gnome-session

Note that any other vnc server besides vnc4server would be ok for me if you recommand one.
