Here is a the corresponding bug on the Gnome Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727473
The vino-preferences program is no longer included in the supported versions of vino, 3.10 and 3.12. The Ubuntu repository for Xubuntu 13.10 has only the unsupported version 3.6. According to the David King, a vino developer, XFCE's lack of UI support for vino prevents the vino team from officially supporting it. Vino will support XFCE if we can integrate vino-preferences into the XFCE settings dialog. David suggested creating a new package for vino-preferences. Perhaps the new package would contain some stuff to integrate it with the XFCE settings dialog. David King on Gnome Bugzilla: """ vino-preferences was removed in 3.10 (it should have previously been in the menus as "Desktop Sharing"): https://git.gnome.org/browse/vino/commit/?id=328b2e46aef14b4204d3c20e0de40bd0a69b4229 The current stable version is 3.12, and until there is an equivalent configuration UI (which could be a copy of vino-preferences split out to a separate package) I do not see much point in adding any other desktop to the autostart file. [...] There is code inside gnome-control-center to configure Vino, which is rather different than vino-preferences. Similar code would need to exist for a desktop environment before the autostart file would be changed to add that environment. """ Can we upgrade the package to a supported version? What do we think of David's proposal? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #727473 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727473 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384463 Title: Does not show up in applications menu (XUbuntu) Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: vino 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 (jaunty) /usr/share/applications/vino-preferences.desktop : [Desktop Entry] Name=Remote Desktop Comment=Choose how other users can remotely view your desktop Exec=vino-preferences Icon=preferences-desktop-remote-desktop Terminal=false Type=Application StartupNotify=true Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;X-GNOME-NetworkSettings; OnlyShowIn=GNOME; X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=vino X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=Preferences Dialog X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.26.1 X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=vino It's probably caused by the "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;" phrase, because XUbuntu uses Xfce.
