Ubuntu comes default with vino-server, I can remote into my machine, and connect to it, however, the display inside my remote client, is a mirror of my own desktop.
I tried using one monitor, thinking that's what is the issue but still won't work.

couple of things I notice, the following error occurs over and over again.
the menu error seems to be caused by ubuntu, similar problems occur http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14292,
(vino-server:3608): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent.
the second one also seem to be a display related issue, can't seem to figure out a solution. I really rather try to fix this issue than have to use the other vnc clients most suggest.
