oh, I figured out (from the tooltip of the Host field) that I can enter 
[remoteu...@remote.host]
but IMHO this is not intuitive enough. there should be a separate field for 
remote username, maybe defaulting to the local one.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: vinagre
  
  Intended action:
  connect to a firewalled machine using VNC with SSH tunneling
  
  Steps:
  1., start Vinagre
  2., Machine > Connect
  3., select Protocol: VNC, fill in Host
  4., check Use host [remote.host] as a SSH tunnel
  5., select Connect
  6., a the dialog appears saying Host: [my current username on the local 
machi...@[remote.host] which is not the desired login !
  7., so I am asked to provide a password for a nonexistent user on the remote 
machine, which I obviously cannot do.
  
  What should happen:
  either on the Connect or the Password dialog box, one should have an option 
to provide the user name for the remote machine
  
  Versions:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
+ Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (up-to-date)
  vinagre 2.30.0-0ubuntu2
