Bug Description

Binary package hint: rdesktop

Intrepid Ibex, with latest updates on T61p. Using compiz.

When using rdesktop, all mouse and keyboard events within the rdesktop window are not seen by the host X Server. This results in gnome-power-manager dimming the screen every now and then; and gnome-screensaver kicks in after a while even though I've been using the rdesktop session continuously. If I move my mouse outside the rdesktop window, only then the mouse event is registered by the host x server.

I don't know if this is a problem with rdesktop or with the xorg server.
