Description Allan Day 2014-01-30 12:17:52 UTC
* It isn't clear whether "Approve All Connections" automatically approves connections, or whether you have to approve them. 
 * It isn't clear who has to provide the password when "require password" is on.
 * It isn't clear what will happen if both of the above are switched to off.

sharing: address ambiguity in the screen sharing dialog

This patch makes the changes to address the ambiguity, but it doesn't add the
generate password or "Copy" button in the mockup, as these would be new
features. The panel already ensures that it is not possible to set a blank
password and will ensure the option is reverted if the password is left blank.

Looks really good to me too. The one thing I would like to see is a narrower window.

Another smaller issue - it would be good to add a bit of vertical padding above the screen sharing switch.

Pushed this, the new features should go in another bug.
