Bug Description
Binary package hint: vinagre
Intended action:
connect to a firewalled machine using VNC with SSH tunneling
Steps:
1., start Vinagre
2., Machine > Connect
3., select Protocol: VNC, fill in Host
4., check Use host [remote.host] as a SSH tunnel
5., select Connect
6., a the dialog appears saying Host: [my current username on the local machine]
7., so I am asked to provide a password for a nonexistent user on the remote machine, which I obviously cannot do.
What should happen:
either on the Connect or the Password dialog box, one should have an option to provide the user name for the remote machine
Versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (up-to-date)
vinagre 2.30.0-0ubuntu2

oh, I figured out (from the tooltip of the Host field) that I can enter [<email address hidden>]
but IMHO this is not intuitive enough. there should be a separate field for remote username, maybe defaulting to the local one.
