Hello Brian,
hello List,
since version 3.0-14 which was released on october 14th 2009, we don't
use xming "as product" any more. The reason was, that we were not happy
with it (as it was not "free enough").
So we found the following HowTo on freedesktop.org which describes how
you can build Xorg for windows on your own:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming/Building
The source can also be found inside the upcomming berlios git and in our
"preparation git":
http://git.x2go.org/?a=tree&p=x2go&h=7ec005a61b74754785840be6626451617b6b6ec5&hb=38b730a075cc77f747acf6fe585e0aeb728dda55&f=windows
The only change we made is to get it running with our plugin.
We can't reproduce the described bug on our systems - so we can't fix it
at the moment, but we are willing to do so.
best regards,
Alex & Heinz

suspending the session and re-connecting does not resolve the
problem. The issue appears to be the version of Xming that is being
distributed with X2GO.

mouse pointer was back in the land of the living.

100,000 of them it would get a bit pricey :(

Xming has a site license for v7.5 available for ? 250 (125 academic).
Unlimited users. So that would not be all that expensive. The other
option is to find the source code for v6.9 and then we debug the
vanishing mouse problem and create a patch.
Regards,
Gerry
