Bugzilla Bug 162905

I use vino for my VNC needs. Unfortunately, it only allows the first login,
after that the VNC client says that it can't authenticate - meaning "bad
password".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure vino to accept password protected connections, with a password of
your choice
2. close the vino configuration window
3. make a VNC connection to the vino server
4. close that connection
5. make another VNC connection to the vino server

Actual Results:  
The client can't authenticate the user.

Expected Results:  
The client should authenticate the user correcly.

It seems that vino has a problem maintaining the password between several
tries. Examples:

a) if you make the first connection and then change the password, it will
accept the second connection too. You've actually resetted the password and
this is a first connection for the second password.

b) if the vino configuration window is left open, vino will not "forget" the
password. If the window is closed, vino will "forget" the password after the
first login.

There seems to be a bug fix in the Ubuntu bugtracking system:

The also consider it a security bug, because the password gets changed without
the user knowing it.

This is a patch to fix this problem.

Okay, fixed.

Thanks, the patch worked for me too. Was starting to get really annoying...
