Bug Description

When attempting to use Remote Desktop Viewer, if I do not click full screen, the remote screen is limited to a very small portion of my screen (something like 640x480). If I check the "fullscreen" button under "Connection options", however, then it uses the combined resolution of both monitors, which causes me to have to do a LOT of scrolling. In previous implementations (I used it a lot last year, probably 11.04 or 10.11) it new to limit full screen mode to the existing screen.

NOTE: When you hit the expand to full screen button, the WINDOW still knows to only expand to the current monitor's dimensions. This bug is only for connecting with "Fullscreen" checked, and for how it makes the remote screen too large.

This bug renders vinagre unusable, paticularly when one of the monitors is verically oriented.
