User can notice that enabling "Remote Control" will also enable the password box, even if the "Require Password" is OFF Steps : 1. Boot 2. Go to settings - sharing 3. Press on screen sharing 4. Enable "Remove view" and "Remote control" 5. Observe that "Password" box is active now, but "Require password" is off 6. Type a password in the box 7. Connect to the vino server on localhost 8. Observe password in useless, observe that password box should be grayed out till "Require password" is ON! Expected outcome Password box is greyed out until "Require password" is ON Actual outcome Enabling "Remote Control" also enables a useless box
Created attachment 252345 [details] [review] gnome-control-center_sharpassgrid.patch Please consider the attached patch, which fixes this behavior on Fedora 19 and OpenSUSE variants. The fix is in gnome-control-center, and not vino itself, so it may be necessary to recategorize the bug.
