Hi Philipp, Thanks for the reply. I don't know how to upgrade the bug. Never the less, I think you understood me well. Normally, desktop sharing is used by me to help users for support and, sometimes I have sessions open for root. I just want them to see what I do, not take control over my desktop. That is the normal case for vnc, and skype which I use for that, and I think it's logical.
I hope someone in GNOME addresses this bug quickly. Would be nice to have a debian patch though.
