It actually says in the man page that from the command line you have to
use brackets around a IPv6 address. Too bad the gui doesn't seem to
follow this logic, even though the tooltip for a connection lists the
IPv6 address in brackets.
>From man vinagre
[server][::port|:display]
Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be
either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6
address, it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can
optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port num‐
ber, or alternatively by one colon (:) and the display where
Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of
5900 will be used. If the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will
be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means
":5901". If only a port is specified, but not the hostname,
localhost will be assumed. Possible values for the display are
between 0 and 1024. If a display number greater than 1024 is
specified, it will be assumed to be a port. Note that you can't
specify the port and the display at the same time.
