Sigh indeed Michael :) .. what you described is case #4 in my initial report.. Vinagre remembers passwords while it is still open, as soon as it's closed, all passwords are forgotten. (mind you, I haven't tried this with multiple hosts to see if only the last used password is remembered..?)

Give this a go: (#4 is the only combination that works for remembering passwords) 1. Connect to site -> enter password -> check "Remember this credential" -> connect. Bookmark site. Close and restart vinagre. Bookmarks -> bookmarked site. Password not remembered. 2. Start vinagre. Bookmarks menu -> last site. Password not remembered. 3. Start vinagre. Remote menu -> Recent Connections -> last site. Password not remembered. 4. Connect to site -> enter password -> check "Remember this credential" -> connect. Click disconnect. Remote menu -> Recent Connections -> last site. *Password REMEMBERED*. (this is the only case where I've got Vinagre to remember the password) This wasn't a problem in Ubuntu 11.04.
