Remote desktop shows green when connecting to PowerPC Macs

[Rachel Greenham]

Binary package hint: vinagre

When connecting using remote desktop viewer to a PowerPC Mac (running Mac OS X Leopard), the remote desktop shows up with wrong colours, looking like an endian issue. (Screenshot will be attached.) Colours are fine when connecting to an Intel Mac.

This is probably a duplicate of #212504 except that was closed ages ago with a fix released for Hardy, so this may be a regression.

version vinagre 2.29.6-0ubuntu1 appeared for update later the same evening; shows the same bug (no, I wasn't expecting a fix that soon! Just affirming, it affects the latest version. :-)

Still affects vinagre on maverick, and on x64 arch as well as i386.

Vinagre version now 2.30.2-1ubuntu1 on maverick x64
Remote machine is G4 Mac Mini running OSX Leopard, via Apple Screen Sharing

I see this with 2.30.3-1ubuntu2 on natty and a G4 with Leopard and the latest updates.
