Try setting "Cursor shape updates" to "Disable". According to
documentation that Constantin just posted to the vnc-tight list for the
upcoming 1.2.3 release:
--> "Cursor shape updates"
Values: "Enable", "Ignore", "Disable".
Default: "Enable".
Cursor shape updates is a protocol extension used to handle remote
cursor movements locally on the client side, saving bandwidth and
eliminating delays in mouse pointer movement. Note that current
implementation of cursor shape updates does not allow a client to
track mouse cursor position at the server side. This means that
clients would not see mouse cursor movements if mouse was moved
either locally on the server, or by another remote VNC client. Set
this parameter to "Disable" if you always want to see real cursor
position on the remote side. Setting this option to "Ignore" is
similar to "Enable" but the remote cursor will not be visible at
all. This can be a reasonable setting if you don't care about cursor
shape and don't want to see two mouse cursors, one above another.
