Bug Description
Binary package hint: gobby
At startup Gobby, before connection, will offer a color wihtout checking if other users are already using it.
The color selection should happen in between requesting to join a session and the actual joining.
That way Gobby could check what color are already in use and only offer " available" colors.
The current behavior results in the user having to repeatedly choose different colors through trial and error until one is found to be available and the session is allowed to be joined.

Ideally, it should just pick a (readable) colour and not bother the user with it at all. If the user hates the colour they are assigned, they can change it in the menu.
