The problem is that when specifying a password under the "remote
desktop" preferences panel, whenever someone tries remotely to access
the computer, vino attempts to open the GNOME keyring. If the keyring
has yet to be opened, and interactive password dialog pops up on the
local display and the remote login process is paused until the keyring
password dialog is dismissed.
This problem makes vino useless as a remote control mechanism to allow a
user to control her own computer remotely as normally a user would log
in to her session and then go to another computer (possibly in a remote
location) and try to login remotely. If the keyring password has not
been entered yet, then the user would not be able to login remotely
unless the computer is attended locally by a person who has the keyring
password.
Steps to produce:
1. login to a new session
2. configure "remote desktop" to use a password and not to require confirmation
3. go to another computer and VNC to the first computer. After completing the
password entry dialog, a keyring password dialog would pop up on the first
computer and the VNC login would not complete until the keyring dialog is
dismissed.
