This is simply a record of a problem noticed when changing settings; it almost certainly isn't an sdm problem but it is faintly possible that some interaction with the sdm process and Wayland is involved.
When using Wayland and wayfire to have a VNC connection, if the desktop wallpaper has been set to 'none (so that a plain background colour is used), then it appears that vnccannot connect properly. An error message is displayed -
Using ssh to log in and either delete the ~/.config/pcmanfm/desktop-items-0.conf files, or edit it to set 'wallpaper_mode=crop', followed by rebooting, seems to work. Changing the wallpaper mode setting from the running desktop works until you reboot.
Very strange, and TBH, somebody else's problem.
