>Description:
When vinagre attempts to connect to a system running TightVNC V2, the
connection is immediately closed due to an off-by-one error in src/gvnc.c.
This results in sening back the version string without hte terminating newline.
It appears that V1 didn'tmind, but V2 declres this a format error.

This problem was reported in the Ubuntu forum at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-vnc/+bug/598597

>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to connect to any TightVNC V2 server with vinagre or any tool using
gtk-vnc.

>Fix:
NOTE: This path is already in the upstream git repo and should appear in the
next release.
