Have you actually tried vino? You get a configuration panel, and a program
that runs in your session. It is quite nicely integrated at the individual
desktop level. It does not include system level (gdm) integration.

Mark -> it would be kinda cool to have a notification icon appear when your
display is being watched/controlled. That way, you know what's going on, and
you could disconnect the session, etc.
