I understand the point about light-weight. But the other point behind Ubuntu is it Just Works. I've looked at some of the HOWTOs (e.g., http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402) and a) they don't do the same thing since they run on :1+ instead of :0 like vino and b) they are way too much like work. Could I do it, sure. Will I bother, no, I'll switch back to Gnome, I've spent enough time goofing around with this issue already.
As for a spec, how about:
Description: VNC server for [xfce]
VNC is a protocol that allows remote display of a user's desktop. This package provides a VNC
server that integrates with [xfce], allowing you to export your running desktop to another
computer for remote use or diagnosis.
+1 for this.
