I disagree that this is a wishlist item. There is rudimentary documentation available:

$ /usr/lib/vino/vino-server -h
Usage:
  vino-server [OPTION...] - VNC Server for GNOME

Help Options:
  -h, --help Show help options
  --help-all Show all help options
  --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options
  --help-sm-client Show session management options

Application Options:
  --display=DISPLAY X display to use

...but this documentation is *wrong*; that is, the following two commands do not have the same effect:

$ /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --display=:0.0
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server

The latter works; the former does not. Even if no manpages are added (though they should be), the incorrect existing documentation is a bug.
