I know this is a bit old, but thought this might be useful for someone.
On one of my machines I let lightdm start a VNC server. Put the
following in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:

[VNCServer]
enabled=true
command=Xvnc4 -SecurityTypes=None
port=5900
width=1600
height=900
depth=24

Install xvnc4, and restart lightdm. You now have a VNC server that will
give you the lightdm login. This is on my home network, so I use
"-SecurityTypes=None" to just get the lightdm login without any
additional authentication. See the man page for details.
