Description Bastien Nocera 2012-12-17 11:25:13 UTC 
It would be useful to know whether a client is connected to the shared screen, and even guess whether the link to the client is slow (depending on the codec/compression used for example), so that we can disable animations in the desktop in those cases.

Exporting this as D-Bus property would make it the easiest way to monitor.

Using the "Connected" property. This allows gnome-settings-daemon
to know whether to disable-animations in the desktop to make
things faster.

I tested this locally, and it seems to have the intended effect.
