I see. It's just that I get the cursor that usually appears when the |
| 31 |
mouse pointer is placed over some text, even when pointing at icons when |
| 32 |
running rdesktop. I remember using another RDP client on another Linux |
| 33 |
system where the cursor behaved the way it does when running Windows or |
| 34 |
Linux direct. |
