So I went back to using LogMeIn for desktop sharing. LogMeIn has a paid version and a free (as in beer) version. The commercial products - including a very nice helpdesk product - subsidizes the free accounts. I set up the service on all of my computers (including a Mac Mini), and "it just works." The only downside is that the free version doesn't do file transfer, but you can do what I did and leave GBridge installed as well, using LogMeIn for remote desktop and GBridge for file transfer.
