Description Matthias Clasen 2009-09-08 16:44:24 UTC 
When I configure vino to not allow others to control my desktop, and then connect with vinagre, the 'Readonly' checkbox is not checked, even though my connection is effectively readonly. I think it would be better to a) make the checkbox reflect the actual connection status and b) make it insensitive if the remote side doesn't allow it.

The problem is that the VNC protocol doesn't mention the read-only mode. So, one side can't know if the other side is read-only or not.

Read-only is implemented in server side by just ignoring incoming mouse and keyboard events.

At the client side it's implemented by not sending mouse and keyboard events.

I'm closing, feel free to reopen if you do not agree with that.

Too bad. But thanks for explaining.
