Comment 25 for bug 274203

Thanks for your feedback Timo.
What do you mean by "fixed in master" ? Fixed in X master source ?
And when you say it won't be fixed for Intrepid, do you mean it won t
be fixed in the FINAL release of Ubuntu Intrepid ? If yes, I find it
very very annoying. Not for myself because I consider being an
advanced computer user (but not already an advanced Lunux user ;) and
a developer so bugs do not scare me, but I think about all the newbie
who may encounter such a strange behaviour: if it is their first Linux
experience, they won t be long before goint back to windows ! With
this bug (mouse jumping back to the screen center), the desktop
environment is just plain unusable...

By the way, keep up the good work with Ubuntu

Regards

Francois Marot
