Bug Description
Binary package hint: vino
Since many people are behind routers/firewalls it isn't so easy to help them with vnc. People who need support doesn't often know how to open ports. Another group are people behind a firewall which can't be changed by them. For all of them it would be great to have GUI for connection to vnc clients in listen mode. People who give support know how to forward ports so it makes much more sense to let supported connect to vnc listen clients. This also makes things more secure since they don't need to open ports.
Btw. gnome-rdp should support starting the listen mode but this is another story. Atm gnome-rdp isn't usable because of some compression and starting bugs. And tightvnc seems to have problems with scrolling of huge desktops.
