*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

If I disable sharing/remote desktop in GNOME Control Center, then log
out and back in, it is automatically enabled again. I report this as a
security vulnerability because remote desktop is enabled without the
user's knowledge.

Software versions:
- Ubuntu 22.04
- gnome-remote-desktop 42.0-4ubuntu1
- gnome-control-center 1:41.4-1ubuntu13

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with Remote Desktop enabled. "systemctl --user status 
gnome-remote-desktop.service" reports "active (running)".
2. Disable Remote Desktop in Control Center. systemctl reports "inactive 
(dead)".
3. Log out and back in.
4. Open Control Center. Remote Desktop is enabled again. systemctl reports 
"active (running)".

Expected behavior:
Remote Desktop should stay disabled upon the new login.

Actual behavior:
Remote Desktop was automatically enabled again.
