Which level of control are you looking for? For graphical (VNC) connections you can try Remmina. I have successfully installed Remmina in a new libertine container but haven't tested a lot with that yet. I have only used it to connect to Windows VM's so far.
To install Remmina:
Start by adding a new libertine-container: libertine-container-manager create --id vivid --type chroot --name 'vivid' and then install remmina with libertine-container-manager install-package -i vivid -p remmina.
Once that is done you'll need a desktop shortcut which is a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications.
This file is called vivid_remmina_0.0.desktop and contains:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Remmina
Exec=/bin/true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/vivid/rootfs/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/remmina.png
Keywords=Libertine
NotShowIn=Unity;
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
X-Ubuntu-XMir-Enable=true
