This doesn't affect only Windows, but Android too. I tried two different
apps ("VNC Viewer" from RealVNC Limited and "Jump Desktop" from Phase
Five Systems), but since upgrading my Ubuntu Desktop to Trusty both fail
with error messages related to incompatible security types.

  VNC accessible for Windows machines only with encryption disabled

Bug description:
  Since a recent update, it is impossible to connect to my Ubuntu box
  using VNC from a Windows machine unless I disable encryption on the
  vino server.

  I tested up-to-date tightVNC client and TigerVNC client on the Windows
  machine, with the same result. As soon I try to connect, I receive the
  following error:

  [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247   List of security type is read
  [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 : Security Types received (1): Unknown 
type (18)
  [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247   Selecting auth-handler
  [ 5872/ 6448] 2014-01-20 12:11:18:247 + RemoteViewerCore. Exception: No 
security types supported. Server sent security types, but we do not support any 
of their.

  So it seems that the update changed the security type of vino to a new
  one. I searched for a way to go back to the old one (until the clients
  catches up) with no avail.

  A solution is disabling the encryption completely, by

  gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

  ...but this is subotpimal. Is there a way to switch the encryption
  back to the old one?
