GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 692480
sharing: screen sharing statusicon
Last modified: 2013-01-28 18:16:09 UTC
Turning on screen sharing enables a statusicon that brings up the old desktop sharing preferences. Highly confusing - probably something to fix on the vino side.
This can be disabled by the configuration and it's likely that a proper status notification in gnome-shell would be preferred anyway. The "Desktop Sharing" preferences can also be launched from the application list, so this also needs removing to avoid confusion.
Created attachment 234498 [details] [review] Don't show vino-preferences in GNOME The gnome-control-center has a sharing panel, which has screen sharing preferences, so the standalong vino-preferences are no longer necessary for GNOME.
Created attachment 234499 [details] [review] Bring up the sharing panel when available The statusicon brings up the vino preferences when clicked. When available, make it show the control-center sharing panel instead.
Comment on attachment 234498 [details] [review] Don't show vino-preferences in GNOME Looks fine, please push.
Comment on attachment 234499 [details] [review] Bring up the sharing panel when available Also fine, please push.
There's also the problem of the "allow connection" question being spawned by a "vino-server" application. I experienced it a couple of times when testing the "Connected" property. It should probably be replaced by a notification with a question.
(In reply to comment #6) Sounds like bug 461785, which it would be very nice to fix.
