Public bug reported:

I'm using Vinagre in Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64, and have found that it does not
remember passwords (when told to via the "Remember this credential"
checkbox), except when a connection has been established, disconnected,
then the Remote -> Recent Connections menu is used (without closing
Vinagre; after being closed it will not remember the password).

Give this a go: (#4 is the only combination that works for remembering
passwords)

1. Connect to site -> enter password -> check "Remember this credential"
-> connect. Bookmark site. Close and restart vinagre. Bookmarks ->
bookmarked site. Password not remembered.

2. Start vinagre. Bookmarks menu -> last site. Password not remembered.

3. Start vinagre. Remote menu -> Recent Connections -> last site.
Password not remembered.

4. Connect to site -> enter password -> check "Remember this credential"
-> connect. Click disconnect. Remote menu -> Recent Connections -> last
site. *Password REMEMBERED*.  (this is the only case where I've got
Vinagre to remember the password)

This wasn't a problem in Ubuntu 11.04.
