Description Visarion Alexandru 2016-06-30 09:48:35 UTC 
When the display gets disconnected, there's no way for us to know if the cause of it was an error or not.
For example, SPICE-gtk has a channel_event signal that pinpoints to us exactly the cause of a disconnection.
Something like this would be nice to have, as it would greatly improve the error management of the VNC viewer widget.

    Introduce a "vnc-error" signal
    
    Provide the app uing GTK-VNC with information about what caused
    the error via a new "vnc-error" signal.
