:-(
I wonder why they have it in /usr/lib/vino/ anyway if it's an executable
process that runs... I still wonder what it is that launches it.
Sun microsystems used to write most of Gnome's documentation, hard to
see the situation improving in the light of recent events.
/usr/libexec/vino-server
control of invoking the process seems to be in
~/.config/autostart/vino-server.desktop
all looks present and correct but doesn't fire automagically for some
reason.
Thanks David.
