Bug#476950: Confusing tooltip

Package: tsclient
Version: 0.150-1
Severity: minor

Forwarded report from Ubuntu

I tried using tsclient for managing a few vnc connections. The GUI is so
confusing, I'd call it a bug.

In the "General" tab in the field "Username" (which tightvnc doesn't use
anyway), the tooltip says:

"Enter the username for the remote system. For vnc, enter the path to
your saved vnc password file."

Ok, I created a password file using vncpasswd. But on connecting, it
wouldn't be picked up.

After experimenting some more, it seems that putting the filename in the
field called "Protocol file" does work.

The tooltip says "Some protocols require a file containing settings. If
required, enter the path to the file here."

The tooltip under both "Username" and "Protocol file" should be corrected.

Thanks
