Ubuntu 14 remote desktop fix

 If you want to connect to the :0 session
(Your main session, the one with your
opened documents, etc), you will need to edit the chrome-remote-desktop script in
/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop.  It involves replacing the :20 in that file with :0 and 

# FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER = 20
FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER = 0

You'll also have to comment out the while statement in def get_unused_display_number(): 
that increments that counter.

Original:
def get_unused_display_number():
    """Return a candidate display number for which there is currently no
    X Server lock file"""
    display = FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER
    while os.path.exists(X_LOCK_FILE_TEMPLATE % display):
      display += 1
    return display

to:
def get_unused_display_number():
    """Return a candidate display number for which there is currently no
    X Server lock file"""
    display = FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER
    # while os.path.exists(X_LOCK_FILE_TEMPLATE % display):
    # display += 1
    return display
