Hello Joachim,
just another small addition to the workaround:
There already exists a more debian like package of Xtigervnc.

With this version there are still some issues:
- this version does not provide the Xvnc link
- "gnome" still tries to do maximum resolution / monitors.xml needs adjustment


Following are the commands to build that version.

    mkdir tigervnc; cd tigervnc
    git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-tigervnc/pkg-tigervnc.git
    cd pkg-tigervnc/
    dpkg-buildpackage -b
    cd ..
    su
        dpkg -i tigervnc-standalone-server_1.4.1-1_i386.deb tigervnc-common_1.4.1-1_i386.deb
        update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc /usr/bin/Xtigervnc 0
            # is needed, because unfortunately tigervnc-standalone-server does not provide the Xvnc link, but xrdp relies on it.
            # make sure vnc4server or tightvncserver is not installed
        exit


Kind regards,
Bernhard
