http://askubuntu.com/questions/160160/unity-launcher-doesnt-appear-in-vnc-session
has the following instructions on changing the xstartup file in the case where unity desktop is installed, it worked like a charm for me since I also installed the gui on my ubuntu 12.04 server, after modifying it as follows, I could ssh in and start vncserver and then launch realvnc from a mac osx to connect to the ubuntu server with a separate unity gui desktop. (thanks teeks99)
Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to read:
#!/bin/sh
# Change "GNOME" to "KDE" for a KDE desktop, or "" for a generic desktop
MODE="GNOME"
#Uncommment this line if using Gnome and your keyboard mappings are incorrect.
#export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
# Load X resources (if any)
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xresources" ]
then
xrdb "$HOME/.Xresources"
fi
# Try a GNOME session, or fall back to KDE
if [ "GNOME" = "$MODE" ]
then
if which gnome-session >/dev/null
then
echo starting gnome
gnome-session &
else
MODE="KDE"
fi
fi
# Try a KDE session, or fall back to generic
if [ "KDE" = "$MODE" ]
then
if which startkde >/dev/null
then
startkde &
else
MODE=""
fi
fi
# Run a generic session
if [ -z "$MODE" ]
then
xsetroot -solid "#DAB082"
x-terminal-emulator -geometry "80x24+10+10" -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &
fi
