The upstream bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577580) has a patch for libgtk-vnc that fixes the bug.
For those interested, you can apply it with: 1. Make a folder for the gtk-vnc git source code and download it: mkdir gtk-vnc cd gtk-vnc git clone git://git.gnome.org/gtk-vnc 2. Apply the patch (http://bugzilla- attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=148702) wget http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=148702 -o pointer-patch.diff patch -p1 < pointerpatch.diff 3. Run the autobuild.sh command and install all the dev libraries it tells you are missing. ./autobuild.sh I needed to install at least build-essential, libtool, python-gtk2-dev, and libsasl2-dev (ie Synaptic or with the sudo apt-get install command). I got the error "libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed" at the end of the build, but the new library had been built successfully as build/src/.libs/libgtk-vnc-1.0.so.0.0.1 and I just needed to link it to /usr/lib/libgtk-vnc-1.0.so to get it working. -- Local mouse pointer disappears https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
