Bug Description
It would be useful if Epoptes had an option to block user local input (keyboard and mouse) when a remote assistance session is active, as available in TeamViewer.

x11vnc -grabkbd -grabptr can be used for that, in /usr/share/ epoptes/ client- functions:
get_assisted() {
background x11vnc -noshm -24to32 -grabkbd -grabptr -connect_or_exit "$SERVER:$1"
}
But it won't be committed upstream now, because we want to refrain from adding new features to epoptes for a few months, and only handle bug fixes, in order to make Precise backports easier.
