Bug#572856: cannot input passwords longer than 8 characters with VNC

[David Paleino]

Package: vinagre
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,
it's impossible with Vinagre to input a password longer than 8 characters, 
when using the VNC plugin.
I'm attaching a simple patch; however, is there any reason to limit the length 
of user_entry and password_entry?

Kindly,
David
