Upgraded Gnome to 2.18, once again Vino stops authenticating

Ugh, I have the worst luck with Vino, and it seems to happen every time I
upgrade Gnome. :( Except my fixes for last time aren't working this time.
Just upgraded Gnome from 2.16 to 2.18 on FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE (it was a
late prerelease, haven't gotten around to doing -RELEASE yet). All of
Gnome is upgraded to 2.18 except Ekiga since ffmpeg won't update for some
reason (so the gnome2 metaport is still at 2.16.2 but that should be fine
since all component ports are otherwise updated).
Last time part of my trouble was I was remote when I discovered the
problem, which made solving things difficult but once I was local it was
easy. Tonight I'm not remote, and all the standard stuff isn't working.
The problem is that although the VNC client (TightVNC on a Windows XP
laptop) prompts for a password (which means it's detecting vino-server
running on the FreeBSD host), the password doesn't work. I've tried the
following:
- portupgrade -Rf vino
- disabling then re-enabling Remote Desktop
- re-entering and changing the password
- logging out of Gnome & X and starting back up
- rebooting
- confirming in Notepad that I'm typing the correct password
Any thoughts?
