I can confirm this is still happening. I am trying to use desktop sharing and teach new users of the advantages of Empathy but before I start the lessons I need to solve this problem. Is this a bug or do I have to activate for example vino. I already activated desktop sharing with the vino server but Empathy still does not activate the option for Desktop Sharing.
