The first detail to note here, is that Ubuntu (really Debian) does their
own packaging of TigerVNC. The entry you refer to refers to *our*
packaging, which is slightly different from what you get from Ubuntu.
For your matter at hand, it sounds like you might have gone the xstartup
approach. This isn't really suitable for modern desktops. What you
should do is the modern service approach, where you configure stuff in
/etc/tigervnc. I'm unsure if Ubuntu's packages have that. You may need
to use the packages from us in that case.
