Odd. Note that the 'Enable' box is just below the xnodamage box... sure
you didn't click that one :-)

For TSC (tsclient) you also need to install a vnc viewer - I use
xvnc4viewer.

For your situation, you might want to consider installing nomachine's
NX: http://www.nomachine.com/
You can log in as a user and get a full user desktop without affecting
the existing running desktop. Considerably faster, more secure (uses
ssh), and less overhead. Vino can be an absolute cpu resource hog.
You won't be able to 'share' a desktop with the remote unless you enable
VNC in NX, but then the connection slows to VNC.

Note that you can also use the Win client (no free Win server) to
connect to the Ubuntu machine.

You can also use the freenx version if you prefer:

But I've always used the nomachine version & am very happy with it.
