Public bug reported: The vino-server does currently not autostart if one enables it via the sharing settings in gnome-control-center. Running gnome-settings-daemon -r --debug shows that it tries to locate vino-server.desktop which it cannot find and therefore fails to start. Looking at the debian package, a confirmed and working fix for Ubuntu 16.04 is: sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop /usr/share/applications/vino- server.desktop or only shipping that file in /usr/share/application
