I too have a system that was updated from F14 to F15.

It didn't have tigervnc-server installed on it.  So, I just installed it
and connected to it via the RealVNC app for Android on my Android
Tablet.  I had no problem. 

Of course the GNOME session is "fallback" mode and not GNOME shell.

Would you consider trying the tigervnc-server instead of RealVnc server?
