Package: xvnc4viewer
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-14
Severity: normal

The new default of asking password from the terminal does not work. I
don't care whether to input the password from tty or GUI box but
currently only the GUI box works, so --PasswordDialog=1 is mandatory.
When I run it without this option, I get authentication failures:

$ xvncviewer -via server localhost:1
