VNC. How to get your screen to refresh with compiz enabled.

There have been many bug reports on launchpad that describe this problem. I have been searching for a fix for a few months now, and short of disabling compiz, I could not find anything. Today I stumbled over the answer. It is quite simple actually, just a few steps:

1. Hit Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor

2. desktop > gnome > remote_access

3. Put a check in the disable_xdamage box.

You should now be able to VNC into this machine with a screen refresh.
