Bug Description

Binary package hint: vino

On intrepid the button "Users can view your desktop using this command:"
show: vinagre Hostname:0
Link: mailto:?Body=vinagre Hostname:0

I think the mailto will not work to view desktop.

I imagine the purpose of the mailto URI is to send the hostname to somebody so he can connect, not to actually connect.

I wonder if this is useful at all though.

Jonh, can you clarify on this? I guess this should be closed as invalid if there's no intention to change it, but I wonder if the mailto URI should be removed instead.

Yes, Emilio, you're right.

If some of you have an idea on how to improve that information, I am glad to hear from you.

Maybe by changing tooltip text for : "Send this command by email"

Also, if we maintain the 'mailto:' uri, perhaps change vncviewer with vinagre

Now I see what happened: We already have this tooltip, but new gtk+ (2.14) is ignoring it and showing the URI instead. Upstream already knows about that and hopefully will fix this soon.
