The above is true (that Vinagre has less protocol functionality than
TSClient), it's also true that it seems slower and less stable (even
moreso when running "tightvnc", rather than "vnc4viewer").  On top of
all this, it also has no visible option for overloading keypresses in a
"keygrab-like" behavior, which makes administering remote systems more
difficult.

I noticed that Hardy final ships with "Vinagre" and "tightvnc" by
default now; and "tsclient" and "vnc4viewer" have been removed.  I'm
just wondering if it was a result of this bug, which is still marked as
both new and undecided.

It may have been that someone took this bug as read when doing some kind
of package change, though unlikely.  In either case, though, this one
should probably be resolved, since "tsclient" has been removed from
Hardy.

On another note, I'm assuming there was some compelling thought process
behind the replacement; but can't seem to find anything.  I'll make a
case for backing the default shipped packages back, if only because it
adds more protocols to new Ubuntu users... but not until I know what the
rational behind the replacement might be.  Could be a good one.

So, anyone know how this decision was reached, off hand?
