I would like to share my screen or only a window with a remote user, something like Skype screen shearing. Is there any tool in Ubuntu that I can use to easily do this?

You can use TeamViewer for this. To install it go to: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx
Then install it using the following sequence of commands:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://download.teamviewer.com/download/version_9x/teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
If using Ubuntu 64bit then download teamviewer_linux_x64.deb and follow the above steps.
One very convenient and free solution is to install the TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com) server on the desktop you want to control.
Teamviewer isnt free if you use it a lot.
