Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: when running karmic beta and vmware server 2.0 and viewing the guest virtual machine xp in vmware console the mouse is dropped at the screen edge when screen resolution in the guest is greater the 640 by 480. the mouse will flash on and off and the numlock key will flash on and off as the mouse is moved outside of the 640 by 480 screen size. this makes mouse control so bad as to be basically unusable to use vmware. http://communities.vmware.com/thread/235572?tstart=0 this is what i have been experiencing. they say it is a problem with gtk solution is too roll back to the earlier version 2.16.6?? not sure how you can do that in ubuntu. Quote: http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?o...topic=63219.0 Apparently there is some sort of change in these packages that cause problems with the plugin. This problem is effected by Kubuntu 9.10 as well (after all updates).

[Bug 460531] Re: wmware console mouse movement drops mouse at screen edge
still keep seeing this in comments as a problem in new version of GTK+ http://www.rootloot.de/blog/vmware_in_ubuntu_karmic and this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289847 After recently upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Beta I noticed some problems when installing VMware Workstation or VMware Player. After installing and following the steps mentioned in the VMware forums to compile the modules for the new kernel, the Application finally started. However, there still seems to be a problem with mouse and keyboard focusing in the guest OS. Apperently this is caused by a new version of GTK+. The good news is, that never Versions of VMware ship with their own compatible version GTK+. In order to use these shiped versions, just set the according environment variable export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes or export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force You may append this to /etc/vmware/bootstrap for example to automate the setting before starting VMware Workstation or VMware Player. The ony downside of this sollution is that your application now does not use the system default GTK+ style, so it might pop out a bit from your other windows. -- wmware console mouse movement drops mouse at screen edge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
