I'm not sure about doing such change... What about distros that won't ship gnome 3 or gtk+ 3.0? Is it already decided that all capplets will change to this format? Perhaps the right thing to do would be to add an configure option, say, '--with-control-center' to build a control center module instead of a binary. Thus modern distributors will choose this option, while conservative ones would choose to stay with the binary.
If vino is to be part of the GNOME 3 core we need to make this change. We aren't designing the GNOME 3 core for distros to pick and choose which parts they'll use.
Since my last comment we've revised the plan. I think it makes sense to design this as part of the Privacy & Sharing panel that we're planning for 3.2. So, this isn't a 3.0 blocker. And in fact probably should be marked wontfix.
Thanks for your input Jon. Is there any reference for the Privacy and Sharing panel planning that you mentioned? I don't have any strong opinions, but I'd like to be kept in the loop about future changes.
Hi David. Sure, we didn't get close to finishing for 3.0 but some of the work is here: http://live.gnome.org/Design/SystemSettings/PrivacyAndSharing Are you one of the vino maintainers we should be working with next cycle? Thanks.

Bookmarked, thanks. > Are you one of the vino maintainers we should be working with next cycle? > Thanks. Yes, Jonh Wendell recently handed over maintainership of Vinagre and Vino to me. I have a few plans queued up for Vino 3.2, but nothing that should impact these UI changes, which are more important for users.
Cool. Will certainly be talking with you then. BTW, you should teach bugzilla that you are a maintainer of this module :) I think you can do that in the Admin options or something. Or maybe Jonh has to...
