[Bug 455512] [NEW] “share my desktop” is greyed out

[Rumpeltux]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

On two machines in local network with local-xmpp accounts in empathy (both 2.28.0.1), the two of them can see each other and chat to each other.
The menu entry “share my desktop” is greyed out, with no hint onto why.
The help mentions that a special application is required to view, but does not mention which one.
I suppose it’s vinagre, but this one is installed on both machines.

Expected behaviour: have the menu entry available to share the desktop.
