Description Lennart Poettering 2007-07-30 13:11:42 UTC 
I'd prefer if the vino server would use libnotify to inform the user that a client connected and also ask him via libnotify whether he wants to accept the connection, instead of popping up a dialog in the middle of nothing. Popping up dialogs without any direct user interaction that caused it is never a good idea from a usability point of view I would argue.

Thanks,

Lennart

Sorry, bugzilla didn't respond, so I accidently posted this bug twice.
