Duplicate your regular command line session that already works, and under the "Advanced SSH settings" tab, set "Execute command" to `env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu gnome-session --session=ubuntu`. -(If you're not running the same setup I am, look around in `/usr/share/xsessions/`, pick something that looks reasonable, and use everything after `Exec=` on the line with that.) +1.
