I get the same, If I modify /etc/hosts, it seems to report the correct name
I could be stupid, but IMHO vino should know that localhost.localdomain is a
waste of time.

Also it should detect any network cards and use the name from that if possible,
should this (IMHO) a major bug (that does not fit in with GNOME's it Just works),
as users should not expect to have to edit this to get it to work.

The sort of people who would generally be using this (apart from sys admins, who
would probably use ssh instead)
are probably using it to request assistance for some tech support,
so this should be made as easy as possible for them.

Should this get filed upstream in GNOME's bugzilla?
