Title:
Unity does not play well with VNC servers
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: unity
Attempting to use a VNC server, I have discovered that some menus and
compiz effects do not work well. Specifically, sometimes Unity's
drop-down menus from the top panel do not show up at all, or are
incorrectly cropped, as can be seen here:

Other compiz effects are rendered incorrectly, as can be seen below,
where the top panel's drop shadow is rendered over a terminal window's
title:

Both Vinagre and x11vnc have been tested and found to suffer from the
same effects, regardless of the settings used. (Many options to
x11vnc have been tried, including the -noxdamage option, which is
known to be a required option for using a VNC service to a session
running Comiz.)
These effects are not seen in the "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)"
session, where VNC service operates perfectly and as expected.
