Bug#535693: vino: Add an option to disable notifications on connect

[Chris Butler]

Package: vino
Version: 2.24.1-3.1
Severity: wishlist

While I don't doubt that the notifications that pop up when a remote
user connects is a useful feature, it can be annoying at times. For
example, when I want to control my mythtv machine from another computer,
I'd rather not have the notification pop up over the video I'm watching.
It looks like I'm not the only one who wants this feature either:

I have attached a patch which adds a new option to the remote desktop
settings which allows the notifications to be disabled.
