remote desktop broken for headless computers

The following bug is quite a serious regression (imo) regarding remotely
managing computers.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/562423

When you configure your computer to allow remote desktop connections without
having to physically confirm every time you want to connect, you certainly
do not want the host computer to prompt a physical user for a password.

This pretty much negates the idea of remotely controlling a computer
altogether.

What are the odds of getting this fixed by release, or even in this cycle?

Thanks,
Alex
