Bug Description

When I turn on remote desktop with vino-preferences, vino-server does not start.
However, I can run vino-server from the command line and it works fine.

What's the result of "ps ax | grep vino" in a gnome-terminal ? It works fine here

vino cpu hog

I restarted my machine after an upgrade and now vino-server is running
correctly. It definitely wasn't before. I checked not only ps aux | grep vino,
but also netstat --tcp --listening -p and I tried connecting from several
different machines. And like I originally said, running vino-server from the
command line would work fine.

Now the problem appears to be disabling Remote Desktop. When I turn sharing off
vino-server is still running and when I connect to it with tsclient,
vino-server starts taking up 100% cpu. When I killall -9 vino-server, it comes
right back with a new pid and does the same thing even though sharing is off.

I'm attaching a log of my terminal session that will hopefully shed some light
on this new problem.

On warty vino-server is started correctly by vino-preferences. When I disable
sharing, via vino-preferences, vino-server is still running, but connecting to
it does not work and causes it to exit. I tried going through these steps twice
and the second time I noticed vino-server started using 90% of the cpu for about
10 seconds, but it eventually exited properly. I'd say you can close this bug,
unless you want me to try this on Hoary also.
