Bug Description
On Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland, once you activate, from the Settings application, Sharing, and Remote Desktop Sharing, it is not possible to permanently deactivate it on the GUI.
While it is still possible to deactivate it temporarily, this will only last until next reboot. After a reboot, Remote Desktop Sharing will be active again.
This means that a service which provides remote access and system control, which the user has chosen to deactivate, actually remains active / respawns, and available for remote login. This behavior is unexpected to the user and can have security impact.
