Description of problem: After turning on desktop sharing there is no visual indication that desktop sharing is on. I think a notification icon that at a minimum indicates when desktop sharing is active would aid in users from engaging in activity they would otherwise refrain from while desktop sharing was enabled. The goal here is a request to implement a visual reminder, notification icon was the first thing that came to mind. Let me take a moment and prioritize a list of features i would like to see for any mechanism to be adopted as a visual reminder that desktop sharing is active: 1) indication that sharing is active 2) be able to call up the preference dialog from a right click menu on the icon 3) number of remote clients access 4) ability to review the ipaddress/hostname of remote connections 5) ability to disconnect/refuse specific remote connections -jef
Yep, its been on the TODO list since the start. No harm having it in bugzilla, though: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154467 Thanks
