Density-property characterization of affine space

From papers

Let XX be a Stein manifold diffeomorphic to Cn{\mathbb C}^n and having the density property, meaning that the closure of the Lie algebra generated by the complete holomorphic vector fields on XX is the Lie algebra of all holomorphic vector fields on XX. Density-property conjecture. Then XX is biholomorphic to Cn{\mathbb C}^n. This conjecture asks whether the density property, together with the topology of affine space, characterizes Cn{\mathbb C}^n among Stein manifolds. The supplied text presents it after noting a counterexample to a related question of Diederich and Sibony, but gives no resolution of this statement.
