In virt-manager we've got code like this self.display.connect("vnc-auth-credential", self._auth_credential) def _auth_credential(self, src_ignore, credList): for cred in credList: if cred in [gtkvnc.CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD, gtkvnc.CREDENTIAL_USERNAME, gtkvnc.CREDENTIAL_CLIENTNAME]: Which throws a warning to stderr: /home/nishome/crobinso/sandbox/upstream/virt-manager/virt-manager.git/src/virtManager/console.py:294: Warning: comparing different enum types: VncConnectionCredential and VncDisplayCredential gtkvnc.CREDENTIAL_CLIENTNAME]: however the code works and continues on fine. Truthfully not really sure if we are doing something incorrect in virt-manager, but from poking at the gtkvnc python API I can't really find any other constants to compare against. This doesn't really need to be fixed for fedora, just something wanted it to be tracked somewhere.
This is almost certainly a gtk-vnc bug. The VncDisplay object shouldn't be leaking enum values from VncConnection, instead it has its own set of enums. Fortunately the actual enum values are currently the same so you won't get ill effects from this mis-match
Pretty sure this is still relevant as of at least F16
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still relevant on F18
