WORKAROUND

Apparently this is a timing problem, cart before the horse so to speak. As seen above the suggestions about starting/stopping/enabling/disabling networks and/or desktop sharing, I figured the problem was probably due to the fact that the desktop sharing was enabling BEFORE the network was actually ready, thereby killing the process when the network then became ready. This may or not be but creating a simple script that fires up the vino-server after waiting for 10 seconds after login solves the problem. I created this and added it to my startup applicaitions.

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server

Now all is well. This was on Linux Mint 12 using the MATE desktop.
