Just wondered has this been forgotten about or will it get fixed post FC5 release.
This might be related to this bug: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1339 If so, the patch for vino-server.c listed here fixed the issue for vino-2.8.1-1.src.rpm (the version in RHEL-4 Update 3): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332011
The fix was included in vino 2.16.0.
