OK... so it appears that having the firewall disabled is not
behaving the same as in f8 and before.  It seems that I
have to enable specific ports even though the firewall
is disabled.  In f9, vino seems to work only if port 5900
is enabled in the firewall configuration irrespective of
whether the firewall is enabled.  This firewall configuration
works:

--disabled
--port=22:tcp
--port=5900:tcp

Is this a bug in the firewall?  It seems to me that if the
firewall is disabled, the firewall ports that are allowed
shouldn't matter.

 Thanks,
