User can notice that enabling the "View only" option will not work, screen will remain dark.
Steps :
1. Boot 
2. Open Vinagre
3. Press Connect button
4. Select protocol VNC
5. In VNC options, check "View only" option
6. Try to connect to a remove computer
7. Observe that a black screen is displayed
8. Observe removing that option and reconnecting will show the desktop of the remote computer
Expected outcome :
Using view only user will only view the desktop and not be able to control it
Actual outcome
Connecting with View only checked will display only a black screen
