Bug#639088: vino-server is not autostarted even though 'Remote Desktop' is enabled

[dbrazziel]

Package: vino
Version: 3.0.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

    Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote desktop server is 
checked in 'System/Preferences/Startup Applications' but
vino-server is not running and there is no indication that
it was ever started (i.e. can't tell if gnome-session tried
to spawn it and failed, or if vino-server crashed; .xsession-errors
has no output from vino-server or gnome-session related to vino).

    Another machine running vino 2.28.2-3 behaves properly,
i.e. just enabling it in 'vino-properties' caused 
'/usr/lib/vino/vino-server' to be launched.

    Instances of both 'gnome-settings-daemon' and 
'dbus-daemon' are running for this desktop user.
I noticed, however, that the 'vino-server.desktop'
file was not present in '$HOME/.config/autostart'.
This may be due to the new gnome-session handling
as detailed in 

http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/NewGnomeSession

Digging further, there are differences in the desktop 
file between 2.28.2-3 and 3.0.3-1, specifically the
'AutostartCondition', which changed from just checking
the gconf database 

AutostartCondition=GNOME /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled

to checking ??? in 3.0.3-1:

AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.Vino enabled

Looks like some bizarre combination of gnome-settings-daemon
and dbus.  At any rate, a method of starting a process that
was mildly and needlessly complex (but nevertheless worked
and became clear after a little investigation), was changed
to something even more complex, undocumented has that fails 
and gives no indication why.
