This bug appears to be a huge security problem that allows remote clipboard access. Vino should be considered insecure and untrustworthy.

It appears that Vino does not save any logs anywhere in /var/log directory. I was not able find any logs in ~/ directory either. Logs files are extremely useful in debugging if something went wrong or to audit a system to examine a security breach. It would be great idea if logging feature is enable in Vino and logs are obtained either in /var/log or ~/.vino directories somewhere.
