Public bug reported:

When I run vino-preferences, and
 - choose to let other to connect
 - and let others take control of my PC,
 - with each acces that must be confirmed
 - but wihtout a password
 - and with "Let automaticallly open ports on UPnP router"

no port is ever open on the router (i.e 5800 and 5900)

I have checked this on 2 different setups (pc-router).

running ubuntu 15.10, and using a tp-link td-W8960N modem-router, even
after a logout-relogin, upnpc (miniupnpc client) does not show me that
IGD ports 5800 or/and 5900 is open.

however, I can check with netstat that those ports are open on
localhost/my PC.

it's the same with another ubuntu 15.10 and a freebox revolution v3.1.6
using UPnp IGD v1 or v2

If it's a security feature vecause I don't use a password to allow
connection, then the checbox "LEt automaticcaly open port on router"
should be grayed out.
