Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
I'm trying to use the desktop sharing functionality in Empathy with two gmail accounts.
Everything works fine until the appearance of the remote desktop on my PC. I can move the mouse, and who is close to the remote PC confirm me that his mouse moves following my mouse.
Unfortunately I don't see the refresh of the remote screen. I can work with the mouse on the remote PC, but I don't receive the updated image of the screen. When I accept to share the desktop, in vinagre I get only the first image, then it remains static.
Attached to this bug report I send you the remote Desktop image that I can see on my PC in vinagre. This is the only image I receive without refresh as I said.

Thanks for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have a feeling this is a vinagre problem and not empathy, but I won't close the empathy task until the vinagre triagers take a look at this. Could you try using remote desktop viewer (instead of empathy) between the two computers to see if that gives you any different results?
