Package: xautolock
Version: 1:2.1-7.1
Severity: normal

When activating locker by placing the mouse pointer i a hot corner
xautolock leaves it there and starts the locker. This often leads to
the locker beeing started again after unlocking (it's even documented
in the man page).

In my opinion the proper remedy would be to move the pointer to some
other position before starting locker if that is done because the
pointer was left in a hot corner (if locker is started because of
timeout or -locknow I suppose moving the pointer could be considered
destroying valuable state).

Currently I work around this problem by setting locker to a script
that starts with 'xwit -root -warp 200 200'.
