Well known schema ([1]) tuning gdm.conf and running Xvnc via xinetd worked fine for Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid PV DomUs fails for Ubuntu 9.04 Server PV DomU . Setup vncserver to start via /etc/rc.local and /usr/bin/gnome-session via ~/.vnc/xstartup known as a way to manage on Debian Etch. I’ve also noticed :-
Remote Desktop Viewer VNC over IPv6: works on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (Alpha 6)

Auto detection Ubuntu Jaunty PV DomU from another remote Intrepid Server on the same LAN :-

************************
Activation Remote Desktop access causes vino-server to start up
automatically. As appears it’s PPID is PID of /usr/bin/gnome-session. Vino-server stop/start via command line :-
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
Activating remote access to Jaunty Server PV DomU via old fashioned vnc connection ( still required).
