I think if you try and run a local session and vnc session with both using
gnome desktop there are issues with it. But I always run the vnc session
with the xfce desktop and never had a problem. I've also had no problem
running xfce locally with a vnc xfce session. Seems gnome is doing
something with dbus, and causes a conflict with both sessions trying to
use the same dbus settings??
My situation is similar, except that I use MATE exclusively. I am trying
to understand why the upstream maintainer's solution allows only a single
TigerVNC logon using a particular UserID. In other words, if I have a local
USER-A and a TigerVNC USER-A, if one is logged on the other cannot. Does
this mean that a TigerVNC USER-A will not have access to local USER-A's
home directory, and vice versa. If so, this is ludicrous.
If TigerVNC has been so badly mangled in the name of systemd support, what
alternative VNC can folks recommend in its place? I seriously need one to
support development of virtual machines hosted on a server with huge
storage, and the local console of that storage machine is not in a suitable
place for development.
My use case needs VM's with a number of default installs of popular linux
distros in order to support specialized applications for users scattered
around the globe, so I can't avoid GNOME. With Fedora 29-32 I was using
SPICE on the console of the system (located in a different building, so not
always convenient) that hosted the VM's. Fedora 33 came along at the same
time as new versions of the applications and some new hardware, so I
haven't had time to look after the VM's. Getting remote access to the
VM's is on my todo list.
Some of my colleagues use macOS so I may need to add that to the mix.
SPICE ("The SPICE project aims to provide a complete open source solution
for remote access to virtual machines in a seamless way so you can play
videos, record audio, share usb devices and share folders without
complications." --https://www.spice-space.org/index.html), is not a
long-term option:
SPICE has been deprecated inRHEL 8

In RHEL 8.3, the SPICE remote display protocol has been deprecated. Note
that SPICE will remain supported in RHEL 8, but Red Hat recommends using
alternate solutions for remote display streaming:
- For remote console access, use the VNC protocol.
- For advanced remote display functions, use third party tools such
as RDP, HP RGS, or Mechdyne TGX.
I have used VirtualBox RDP support in an "enterprise" environment where
Windows was the "desktop standard", but I'm not familiar with HP RGS

Both are commercial. HP RGS is now called* HP ZCentral Remote Boost.*
