Package: vino
Version: 2.28.2-2
Severity: wishlist
Please could you use the configure option --disable-gnome-keyring. I
don't know whether this affects the client as well as the server, but
IMO it's quite impractical to store the server password in
gnome-keyring, because it means you have to enter a password on the
server's keyboard before you can connect to it, and one of the reasons
for using VNC is for when you don't have physical access to the server.
