XCan,

You are correct that disabling compiz was my original suggestion. However, as I mentioned before, I've narrowed the issue down to either xorg or Nvidia, and the more I mess with it, it's seeming to be nvidia. Compiz is fully installed on my system. After removing all nvidia referencing packages, VNC works however my resolution was only 800x600. So after more troubleshooting today, I've confirmed on my own system that VNC now works with Compiz, in addition to having xserver-xorg-video-nv installed (1:2.1.12-1ubuntu5), in addition to some other nvidia modaliases. I simply manually selected a few packages to install in Package Manager, the xorg being the first one I tried. I now have a normal screen resolution, Compiz enabled, and VNC working. The only thing I cannot do at this point is enable Extra visual effects because of the packages that option installs. Other than not having some fancy features like window wobble...my system is fully functional now with VNC and the necessary packages. Hope this helps!
