Title:
vino is not activated for gdm (itself)
Status in vino package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: vino
Vino will not work after the upgrade karmic/lucid for the gdm session
itself. Changes to the default configuration, which will fix that, are
lost after the upgrade.
I regard this to be a bug, because remote graphical login should be
possible on a modern distribution. Former settings should be respected
in the upgrade process as well.
There is an old step-by-step tutorial on how to enable vino for gdm.
Please consider, if that configuration change will still be acceptable
for the lucid release. (No code, just config).

manager-gdm-in-ubuntu/
Will this chance impose a security threat because of vino probably running with root privileges?
If not, please consider inclusion of the changes.
The missing gdm.conf settings may probably be substituted by adding
the following lines to schema
<schema>
<key>daemon/KillInitClients</key>
<signature>b</signature>
<default>false</default>
</schema>
Please check this.
KillInitClients is documented in
http://library.gnome.org/users/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en, but
uses the custom.conf notation, not the recent xml format.
