I just switched from Gnome to Xubuntu (adding the xubuntu-desktop to my laptop) because I decided that with an Atom processor and 2G of RAM the full gnome shell experience is a bit, well, slow.

All is ok but for the remote desktop sharing.

I can activate vino-server correctly following these instructions (or similar --- there was the entry in the session manager already), so far so good.

The problem is that vino-preferences has been removed from the vino package (1)--- see this bug report for more info. It says (in Spanish) that now the vino preferences have to be set from the "Sharing->Desktop Sharing" in gnome-control-center. I have the gnome-user-share package installed.

But under Xubuntu running gnome-control-center gives just a minimal thing (correctly, I think), and I cannot find any way to reach the preferences settings of vino.

By the way, the server works (I am connected with it now), thanks to the fact that I had the preferences set up from the previous Gnome desktop session... but how can I access them in Xubuntu?

(1) See:

(1)asus-romano:~% dpkg -L vino | grep pref       

(1)asus-romano:~% 

although:

(1)asus-romano:~% apt-file search vino-preferences

app-install-data: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/vino:vino-preferences.desktop

vino: /usr/bin/vino-preferences

vino: /usr/share/applications/vino-preferences.desktop

vino: /usr/share/vino/vino-preferences.ui

...probably referred to some older package.
