Bug Description
Remote desktop viewer gets only initial screen view which is not updated, if the host has desktop effects enabled.
All the mouse and keyboard commands are transmitted blindly.
I understand that fixing it may take long time, so I propose dealing with it in three stages:
1. informing user iabout this issue when enabling remote desktop connection in Mint next release
2. turning desktop effects off automatically when remote viewer connects, so the user is not bugged
3. fixing it someday
encountered on Mint 8, gnome.
