I hope you'll re-consider - it's not a big deal to enable the desktop file.
What's the downside, exactly?

gtk-spice has exactly the right balance of ease-of-use and functionality for my
users, I've found.

In terms of mouse handling, and switching back to the desktop, gtk-spice works
exactly right. It is a lot harder to get vinagre to work effortlessly on a
gnome-shell desktop.

Not sure about spicec's functionality, but the non-gtk look is all wrong on my
desktop.
