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 ?

* Tue May 17 2016 Richard Hughes <rhughes> - 3.14.4-11
- Ignore fake VNC devices, they can't be color managed anyway.
Resolves: #1300937

Verified on gnome-settings-daemon-3.14.4-12.el7. No admin prompt for color management.
