I used to be able to connect to my Gnome 3 desktop from a Windows machine with a VNC client. But after an upgrade (on the Linux side) a while ago, it quit working. When I attempt to connect, all I can get is a message saying "No matching security types" or "No supported authentication methods!" (depending on which client I try).
In Gnome 3, I've turned on Screen Sharing under Settings > Sharing. Under that, I have Remote View on, Remote Control on, Approve All Connections on, Require Password off. I'm running Arch Linux with vino 3.8.1.
On the Windows side, I've tried TigerVNC 1.0.1 & 1.2.0 and UltraVNC 1.0.9.6.2.
How can I get this working?

This is actually a known and currently open bug. However, there is a very easy workaround; just issue the following command:
You will now be able to connect with most vnc viewers.
