Bug Description

This report amounts to two questions:

1) A while ago, I recall there was effort made to ensure only one application per task, so why are there two remote desktop applications when only one is necessary?

2) Why has VNC support in tsclient been disabled when it is probably the better client for VNC? (more mature, more featured etc).

tsclient just feels more professional, and should be the only remote desktop application installed by default. vinegre doesn't offer anything over tsclient, while not being as complete of a solution, so this doesn't make sense to me? I suppose an explanation is all I really require, but some consideration of going back to just tsclient would be prefered, Ubuntu never used to install a seperate VNC GUI by default, why start now just because Gnome accepted it? Ubuntu doesn't install epiphany or empathy just because Gnome accepted them, this decision seems poor to me.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this.
This isn't a bug because it doesn't stop you to do something.

In my opinion this is suprising too, BUT my tsclient is also working with vinagre.
Maybe vinagre is installed because of it's easyness
