*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: vinagre

When a user is logged in, I can enable the remote desktop AND disable
the 'you must confirm each access to this machine' without being asked
for a password.

In this way, I can change the settings when the user is logged in (I use
auto-login in ubuntu, so that's very easy), get his/her ip adress and
sneak into this machine when the machine is online, without any
knowlegde from the user!

shouldn't there be asked for the root password for security?
