Comment 23 for bug 278489

I checked that the pointer patch works with the latest Ubuntu gtk-vnc 0.3.10-2ubuntu2 (source is at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/gtk-vnc/). Somehow I doubt that anyone will be applying it with only two days to go, though!

For those interested, you can build it with something along the lines of (I'm assuming you already have patch-pointer.diff from http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=148702 along with the latest Ubuntu source and diff files in the current directory):

tar xvf gtk-vnc_0.3.10.orig.tar.gz
tar xvf gtk-vnc_0.3.10-2ubuntu2.diff.gz
cd gtk-vnc_0.3.10
patch -p1 < ../gtk-vnc_0.3.10-2ubuntu2.diff
patch -p1 < ../patch-pointer.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && sudo make install
