vinagre should document the format of .vnc files

thank you for your bug report, document what and where, how would that benefit the users?

1) the documentation and the help screen show the -f option; however, the format of the file is not described anywhere. This alone is enough to warrant documenting the format.
2) the benefit is being able to start vinagre from the command line, without having to provide the password interactively - because the password can be in the password file.

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

I have checked this issue under Ubuntu Lucid/Maverick, pressing help button shows me enough information to known how to use a .vnc file with vinagre (please check attached screenshot). Please can you check if this documentation included in Ubuntu Lucid/Maverick is fine for you? Thanks in advance.

Vinagre documentation

Hi - the in formation in the screenshot is useles. The format of a .vnc file
is similar to this:

[connection]
host=myhost.my.domian.com:2
#port=5900 --optional
#username=user --optional
password=mypwd

The help pages should document this format. Thanks -Yury
