My most recent notes about setting this up (some time back) point me to:
- 
http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/
- Adjust gdm.conf (different for Ubuntu vs XUbuntu) and uncomment RemoteGreeter.
- Make sure Remote Login is enabled under Admin settings for Login Window

I dont have a local terminal or local login.  I access this box over the
LAN from WinXP box using ultravnc.

I suspect the "remote desktop feature" simply relays Seat1 but I've not
had much luck setting this up unless I'm already logged in... which is
fairly difficult to do since there is no keyboard or screen attached.

The vnc setup above seems to create unique login sessions via VNC
instead of simply echoing the local screen/user session.  I can log in
via VNC under any user I create as I seem to be presented with the
'local greeter screen' via VNC session.
