Package: x2vnc
Version: 1.7.2-5
Severity: normal

When the pointer leaves the VNC screen and returns to the controlling
machine, x2vnc sets the point location to the extreme lower-right corner
of the VNC screen, instead of the last pointer location before the
pointer left the VNC screen.

When the controlled machine is Windows 7 (and possibly some other
Windows versions), this has the effect of enabling the 'Peek at Desktop'
feature, whereby all application windows become fully transparent
(except for an outline), in order to display the desktop beneath - this
is confusing and undesirable, but can be worked around by disabling the
'Peek at Desktop' feature - however this is non-obvious (to say the
least!).

This is described here:

along with a patched version.
