On Ubuntu, possibly on other Gnome (2) distros, there's a Remote Desktop setting (in System/Preferences). This will run a VNC server once logged in. I used to run VNC as a server before log-in but after a while I couldn't get it to work any more - I can't remember why.
Remote Desktop should work out of the box if you just enable it with no jobs or scripts and should be OK if you just want it to run after log-in.

Not sure here really if it needs to be before login so thought it prudent to run as a user.
