Bug Description
Binary package hint: vinagre
The SSH Tunnel Login Dialog in Vinagre, similar to the Password Dialog in the same, only allows for passwords to be entered up to 8 characters. While this should be done for the standard password dialog as per the VNC protocol, the SSH protocol has no such restriction and users should be able to login to the SSH host with a password longer than 8 characters.
Expected: The SSH Tunnel Login Dialog would allow me to enter my full password for the remote SSH host used to tunnel the VNC connection.
Actual: I was only able to enter 8 characters.
Ubuntu 10.04, Vinagre 2.30.1-0ubuntu1

A quick patch. May be the chosen lenght is high, but for ssh-passwords there should be "no" restriction and even if there is a length-restriction for passwords in the vnc protocol it does not hurt if a client accept longer passwords. It is the business of the server to check that only protocol-conform passwords can be set.
