	A gtk+ dialog to launch vncviewer wouldn't be a big deal. Might get a
chance to do that, but we're in feature freeze ...

	This is the server or the client ? If its the server, where's the bug
report ? :-)

	(If this is an error message from the client, set
/desktop/gnome/remote_access/require_encryption to false - that's a
hangover from previous releases.)

	"Its a server so there might be security concerns" is not a good way to
start a discussion about security. I'm aware that its a server, that it
has to handle potentially malicious data etc. and paid close attention
to that when coding. No doubt there may have been mistakes but...
