How impractical ? I mean its possible, but how would it feel to work on a
virtual desktop using vncviewer while you have the complete access to the
desktop.


Running freenx/NX it would feel just the same - at the expense of a bit
of RAM used for the virtual copy and buffering - and those become
extremely valuable when you access the session remotely.

Yea, it's a known issue:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311780

It's a pretty hard problem to solve though, and no one has put the
time in to tackle it.
In the mean time, if this is an issue for you, I would suggest using
Xvnc (from the vnc-server package) instead of vino.

It works by running an entirely different session, separate from the
logged in and locked session.

It doesn't look like problem for me. I think all works as expected and
is designed. I wonder how this will be fixed on gnome side without
Xorg hacking.

Definitely. Use Xvnc in your case.
