Description Mikhail Kurinnoi 2015-10-17 14:11:34 UTC 
I am using vino with XFCE, and vino server works like a charm, until you clicking on tray icon (on "Preferences" option). Since vino-preferences moved to other Gnome3 part, by some reason server crashes if can't find/execute vino-preferences binary. Is this possible to add some additional check for vino-preferences binary presence in system, or some vino-preferences binary execution routing?
The source is ./server/vino-status-icon.c, vino_status_icon_popup_menu and vino_status_icon_activate functions. Server works without crashes as soon as I disable "Preferences" tray icon menu code.

Thanks for the bug report. I just fixed this on master with commit 22f6575b32675ae38567efd3ed8e2362bbc9240d.

Maybe it would be interesting to backport the patch to 3.16 and 3.18 branches if possible as both are affected :)

Thanks a lot
