Comment 20 for bug 1271358

I looked into this today. The .desktop for the preferences dialog in Ubuntu's vino 3.8 has OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; set so the removed preferences dialog really only affects Unity.

If the removed preferences dialog is not a blocker, we are good with merging vino 3.22 with Debian. The only remaining Ubuntu diff is enabling the system miniupnpc patch.

That patch was disabled in Debian in 2012 with this message:
"Disable 05_use-system-miniupnpc.patch for now, until we have a patch that is ready to be sent upstream and the Debian maintainer of miniupnpc has learned how to maintain a library package."

(The patch forces using the system miniupnpc library instead of making it optional which presumably makes it less interesting to upstream.)
