Just setting/unsetting a key in gconf won't start a daemon. That's what the session bit does -- it watches the gconf key, and starts a daemon if it's changed to true (I guess). So you'd have to log out and back in again for the daemon to start if you changed the key manually. So gnome- session should be taught to run daemons when certain gconf keys change.
Or you could make the preferences applet start the daemon (but that depends on the applet running on the same $DISPLAY)... or something. -- When remote desktop access is disabled, vino-session will still run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
