No way to cancel a vnc session through GUI

what do you mean ? you want to disconnect a client from the server ?

Right. If I'm using this as a personal computer and want someone to help me
doing something I would like to be able to cancel the session when I'm done. I
would need a visual way to do that. Maybe it is not necessary if I'm using the
computer that runs vino remotely and I never use it as "my" computer, but that
is a special use case.

It's like the "Ask for assistance" feature in windows. I think KDE has that
option too.

the usual usecase is probably: connect to client, work, close the window.
Having an icon or something to disconnect the client/know if the client is still
here could be nice. I've forwarded the bug upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167712

So where is the resulting work?

what "resulting work"?

In one of the other bug reporting systems, some work was reported as
done on this request.

With so many bugs and bug systems, I can't locate the reference to it
anymore.
