I have just tried and cannot connect to a Windows machine (terminal
services) using vinagre which I think is expected due to vinagre being a
VNC client.

However I can see confusion happening, because nowadays Windows refers
to 'Terminal Services' as 'Remote Desktop'.

In Ubuntu 8.04 Beta 1, vinagre is named as 'Remote Desktop Viewer',
which will be confusing to new users coming from Windows.  In my opinion
it would be better to name vinagre as 'VNC Viewer', for the following
reasons:

* vinagre only uses VNC
* Remote Desktop name conflicts with the naming of a different technology (RDP)
* Someone wishing to use VNC will typically know to look for VNC (as they would 
have installed or enabled it on another machine)

In summary it would be less confusing for less experienced users and
experienced users alike.
