Bug Description
Here is the
~/.gconf/
of the machine which won't let me in:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="vnc_password" mtime="1146515970" type="string">
</entry>
<entry name="authentic
<li type="string">
</entry>
<entry name="prompt_
</entry>
<entry name="enabled" mtime="1146515960" type="bool" value="true">
</entry>
</gconf>
From another machine I start the vncviewer to connect on the first one, get prompted for the password, but it isn't accepted.
If I run "vncviewer localhost" on the problematic machine it isn't accepted either.
BUT: If I copy the configuration to a machine running dapper (i.e. version 2.13.5 of vino) everything works like expected. So I suppose there's something wrong with vino in edgy (version 2.14.0).
BTW: Before messing around with the config file I tried to set it up using the GUI, with no success.

same here on both my x86 and AMD x64 boxes.
I'm wondering if a complete removal + reinstall would fix it?
