Bug#556899: broken keybindings for vinagre

Package: vinagre
Version: 2.28.1-1

the keybindings for vinagre conflict with actually *using* any remote
host for anything more than just a superficial "wow, i can connect, it
works!".

did nobody stop to think that using the common keybindings for vinagre
would conflict with using them on the remote machine?


in particular, ^W closes the current remote desktop window. this is a
complete PITA when you're typing a command line in a bash shell and need
to erase the previous word. it's also a pain if you're in the habit of
using ^W to close windows in the application/remote desktop.

similarly, ^O for open, ^N for connect, ^Q for quit.  and more.

in fact, Vinagre shouldn't have *ANY* keybindings at all because having
them will interfere with using them on the remote desktop.



NOTE: this bug isn't just in this version. it's been in every version
since i started using vinagre. i've been meaning to report this for a
while now. was just reminded/motivated to do so when typing ^W killed my
connection and my bash session for the third time in 10 minutes.
