Desktop video source fails in VMWare environment.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Adding desktop video source and activating this.
2. Show preview.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Desktop should show in preview.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.57a-b
Ubuntu 9-11

Please provide any additional information below.
When the screen resolution is read in the VideoSource the getDevice() returns 
null. This leads to a null exception when the device is used to find out the 
resolution with getSize(). A work around is to test for null value and set the 
resolution to a fixed size. The resolution is needed to keep the VideoSource on 
screen.

This is the first line that fails due to null pointer exception:

46:  int screenwidth = 
java.awt.MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getDevice().getDisplayMode().getWidth();

Also, correcting myself, getDisplayMode() returns null, not getDevice().

*hack*

int screenwidth = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
int screenheight = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;

For systems with one screen this is a solution.
