The other checkboxes in that window are fine, but this one has a common  
problem with checkboxes: the unchecked state isn't obvious.

What does it mean to *not* "Configure network automatically to accept  
connections"? Why wouldn't you want Vino to do that? If the answer is  
"You always would", the checkbox probably shouldn't exist. If the  
answer is "You'd want to do X instead", then the checkbox probably  
should be a pair of radio buttons, with the second one mentioning X.
