[Bug 65795] vino won't accept my password

[waldheinz]

Public bug reported:

Here is the 
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml
of the machine which won't let me in:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
        <entry name="vnc_password" mtime="1146515970" type="string">
                <stringvalue>[removed]</stringvalue>
        </entry>
        <entry name="authentication_methods" mtime="1146515964" type="list" ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>vnc</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>
        <entry name="prompt_enabled" mtime="1146515963" type="bool" value="false">
        </entry>
        <entry name="enabled" mtime="1146515960" type="bool" value="true">
        </entry>
</gconf>

>From another machine I start the vncviewer to connect on the first one,
get prompted for the password, but it isn't accepted.

If I run "vncviewer localhost" on the problematic machine it isn't
accepted either.

BUT: If I copy the configuration to a machine running dapper (i.e.
version 2.13.5 of vino) everything works like expected. So I suppose
there's something wrong with vino in edgy (version 2.14.0).

BTW: Before messing around with the config file I tried to set it up
using the GUI, with no success.
