The command used for toggling ARD on or off requires authentication, at the moment we don't keep the password (we should - but only for platforms that are known to require it: osx) and we need a way to request it if we do not have it (key login).

Then we can use the password to enable ARD if it is not enabled (and potentially other things - auto-start?)

When starting a process and watching its output, we shouldn't do this in a separate thread but instead integrate the code with twisted main-loop (gtk/glib's actually) using ProcessProtocol?, see ​here

Also, when waiting for a process by pid (one we may not have launched ourselves), we should use gobject.child_watch_add(pid) which will also integrate with the main loop.

Places of interest:

• 1 ssh_key_util.generate_new_key: simple call_when_done callback
• 2 config_server.do_tunnel_connect_test: simple call_when_done callback (needs output and returncode)
• 3 ssh_command_monitor: needs every line to be parsed as they are received...
• 4 server_link.do_connect_to_server: re-implements wait_for_socket!!!

Added a test for it so we dont flood the logs (r1523)

GError: This build of gdk-pixbuf does not support saving the image format: ico

But we should either save it in png format (and hope the user's version of windows supports that or at least fails gracefully) or find a library that will convert it to ico (not found so far - only reading is supported, see PIL, etc)

Maybe pywin32 can give us access to something in windows API that will do the job, ​this is not too far off (it's only reading though).

Found ​Icon.Save in .NET

​this example writes it out straight to file. Newer versions of windows support icons as PNGs, we should at least do that when saving .ICO fails.
