Issue: Vinagre poor scaling performance

This issue has existed ever since Ubuntu switched to shipping Vinagre.
Performance of VNC is poor when scaling remote screen to fit within local 
screen.   
About 1 screen refresh in 4 seconds.  If I disable scaling, I may reach 1 
screen refresh per second if things go well.

The "Remmina" GTK+ Remote Desktop Client has tremendously good performance and 
fine feature set. 
I have switched to it and am getting near instant screen refresh performance.

There really is only one thing a remote desktop viewer needs to do well,
and that is provide an experience for the user which closely matches
directly manipulating the remote desktop.  Vinagre is far too slow for
VNC protocol to be considered a usable tool for a default Ubuntu
install.

Please replace Vinagre with Remmina in future Ubuntu releases.
