Binary package hint: vinagre

I connect to my remote desktop and it connects fine. It displays the desktop fine but when I click something... An icon for example nothing pops up in the VNC client but the icon opens up on the remote computer. This also happens when I open menus... So basically its as if the client is not showing any changes whatsoever but it is still transmitting changes to the remote desktop.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

I am having a similar problem so may be related to this bug. The client connects, I can see the mouse cursor moving around, but all I see is the mouse cursor and a black screen at the client.

A workaround for me was to disable desktop effects (compiz) on the host and I was able to view my desktop correctly from the client.
