Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vino

when you configure a port different from 5900 on vino-preferences the allowed 
ports are from 5000 to 49999 lower or higher port doesn't get into listen mode 
you can check it by changing the port while running this command

watch -n0.1 "sudo netstat -aptun |grep vino "

the gui should notify this to the user (good)
or allow to bind to all ports (better)
or remove the possiblity to change the port number and leave the user without 
this option (worst)

** Affects: vino (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
