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?
