No, vino doesn't do anything by default (just confirmed in sid). What
do you have configured in System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop ? By
default, nobody can connect at all. Clicking on the only initially
active checkbox ("Allow other users to view your desktop") results in a
configuration where other users can connect, but they can't actually
view or control your desktop until you've approved their connection via
a popup dialog. If you uncheck "Ask you for confirmation" and neglect
to check "Require the user to enter this password" and provide a
password, then it seems that unauthenticated, unapproved connections are
allowed. IMO this should never ever be allowed, but it is. It's
definitely not the default state, though.
