Bug Description
Binary package hint: vinagre
When you first connect to a VNC session with vinagre, you have both a 'local' mouse pointer, which moves smoothly in concert with your mouse movements (compare with xtightvnc where this local mouse pointer is a circle rather than an arrow), and the 'remote' mouse pointer for the remote computer, which lags behind the local pointer depending on the bandwidth of the connection. This is all as expected.
But when you move the local mouse outside the window displaying the remote computer (eg move the mouse into Vinagre's bookmarks column or title bar) and then back into the window displaying the remote computer, the 'local' mouse pointer vanishes.
This makes using vinagre quite frustrating because the 'lagging' mouse pointer gives poor feedback and you continuously overshoot menus, etc.
Intrepid 8.10 kernel 2.7.26-5 amd64
vinagre 2.24.0-0ubuntu1
This also happens on the Hardy version.

Correction - it doesn't happen in Hardy 32 bit. It is still happening in Intrepid, though.
