Bug Description
Binary package hint: vino
I am using vino (2.32.0-0ubuntu1.1) on ubuntu 10.10, to remote-control several other ubuntu 10.10 machines.
The mouse pointer is always displayed as a default arrow. For example, when reaching window borders, no resize-pointer appears, when hovering over text input fields, no text cursor appears, etc.
This makes it especially difficult to remotely resize windows.
If it helps... Although I have not used Ubuntu much, Vino has always had this problem for me and a coworker for years running various versions of Debian, Gnome and Remote Desktop. It appears to be entirely independent of what client one uses. I have never seen it NOT do this. I post here because I very much hope someone can fix this. Thank you
