Package: synergy
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: normal
When running synergy, xeyes gets the mouse location incorrect when the
mouse is on the other display, from either the client or the server.
Once on the other screen, xeyes thinks the mouse is in the centre of
either screen. I wonder if the mouse location can be faked such that
xeyes gets the impression that the mouse is at the true physical
location -- so x,y of -1280,1 if the mouse is at the top left corner
of a screen to the left that has dimensions of 1280x1024. Dunno
whether X will even allow you to do this.
Course, it's no good faking the mouse location if that causes a
focus-follows-mouse window manager to give focus to an application
thereby making bug#436526 rather hard to fix.
