pointer capture applet won't release pointer

[Phil Mitchell]

Binary package hint: mousetweaks

Applet is set so that Ctrl-Shift-Click locks and unlocks pointer. Recently, it fails to unlock pointer and pointer only recovered by restarting ubuntu. It has always been a bit flaky, often requiring several clicks before releasing pointer. Recently does not release at all.

Running pointer capture applet 2.30.0 on Eee PC 1000HE netbook.
