Bug Description
in the latest gnome-rdp release vnc sessions don't work. It depends on a non existant client program and uses wrong parameters to start the vnc process.
This is fixed in 0.3.0.9-2.
IMPACT:
one of three possibilties to use remote desktop is unusable.
FIX:
use xtightvncviewer insted of hardcoded tight-vncviewer and pass the correct parameters to the process
Regression potential:
Low, changed code is isolated from core functionality and unusable in unpatched state.
TESTCASE:
make sure xtightvncviewer is installed
add an identity (ip address or hostname of remote machine) and a vnc profile (any settings) to gnome rdp
create a session for the identity-profile combination.
connect to a pc allowing vnc connections (in system -> preferences -> remote desktop) using the session
You get following backtrace in the log:
Information: Creating process for tight-vncviewer -noshared -depth 32
