I've just experienced something similar. I'm using the Remote Desktop Viewer to access a windows PC from an Ubuntu 8.10 w Gnome desktop. First, I am not able to see the mouse cursor in the remote computer, then when I switch back to my desktop the mouse cursor moves, but the buttons are all dead.
In my case the screensaver seems unrelated. That is, the dead mouse button problem starts as soon as I try to transition back to Gnome. After reading the thread I'm not sure what the missing information is that you need. Please let me know and I'd be happy to provide it. ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- mouse issue screensaver + rdesktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
