Comment 18 for bug 199245

Ok. On current hardy, the problem seems to be even more about the gnome-settings-daemon's mouse plugin than keyboard plugin. Unsetting apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> plugins -> mouse -> active gives me themed VNC session already, but it gnome-settings-daemon crashes often when doing anything with the end result of it being disabled quite soonish. Unsetting keyboard -> active alone does not help at all, but unsetting also it in addition to mouse -> active seems to give me a stable, themed VNC session.

Tried http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:HOWTO_RealVNC,_TightVNC,_XF4VNC, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402&page=43, and then some, but most information seems outddated. The only change needed really for gnome-session & in .vnc/xstartup to work were disabling those mouse and keyboard gnome-settings-daemon plugins.
