Bug Description

Binary package hint: vino

when you configure a port different from 5900 on vino-preferences the allowed ports are from 5000 to 49999 lower or higher port doesn't get into listen mode
you can check it by changing the port while running this command

watch -n0.1 "sudo netstat -aptun |grep vino "

the gui should notify this to the user (good)
or allow to bind to all ports (better)
or remove the possiblity to change the port number and leave the user without this option (worst)

    - Update label in vino-preferences when the port changes.
    - Hopefully fix an window empty bug
    - Only restore the wallpaper when the last client disconnects.

After having discussed with jwendell, I misunderstood the bug : I tested the new version on some ports around default one (5900), not out of this range.

I reopen the bug, sorry.

Also, in Ubuntu 9.04 alpha, port cannot longer be changed - but it's still the one I configured before - but I don't know how to change it. (don't know where it's saved)

In GConf. You can change it from gconf-editor. Go to apps/vinagre from it.
