Nah, that's not how this really should work.

Basically, there are sessions which are assigned to seats and sessions
which aren't. Seats in this case means local, physical seats. Sessions
without seats are unconditionally active. Only sessions with seats can
be inactive. Since an xvnc session is not a local one it should not have
a seat, and hecnce should alway be active.

Well, that should be the case implicitly if the session is properly
registered. What does "loginctl show-session" print for this session?
