Binary package hint: vino

Vino, the built in VNC server in Ubuntu, has had a problem for many
releases where it won't update the display when connected remotely if
compositing is enabled.

I honestly don't know why it was shipped with this version since
compositing is now required and enabled by default, but Vino doesn't
work if compositing is enabled.

After upgrading to Natty there is no user-facing way to disable
compositing, so the built-in remote control application is now
completely useless.

This is a core functionality of a desktop operating system and it has
been broken in Ubuntu for several major releases ( see bug 353126 which
was opened on 2009-4-1).

If if it's not a core functionality to everyone and that's just my
opinion, it doesn't make any sense to ship a desktop OS with a broken
remote control service. I don't know of any other desktop OS that ships
with a remote desktop functionality that is completely broken out of the
box.
