I think I found a solution: After connecting to the remote machine try this command DISPLAY=:0 vino-preferences --display $DISPLAY
I guess vino-preferences read the $DISPLAY variable for the desktop to refer to and the --display option for the desktop to send the window. Personally, I would expect it to be the other way round (and always in the local server starting from the lower X-server number), but at least this is a solution that works for now. -- vino-preferences over ssh -X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
