Comment 3 Tomas Pelka 2016-02-10 19:17:16 UTC 
So if I get it correctly colord should rather not start instead of asking for additional permission (password prompt) with remote connections like VNC.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2016-05-16 17:17:54 UTC 
Richard, do we have an agreed-on plan for fixing this now ?

- Ignore fake VNC devices, they can't be color managed anyway.
