When running [net-misc/rdesktop-1.7.1], I've noticed that the mouse
pointer is sometimes shaped like a capital letter 'I', like when a mouse
pointer is over a string of characters. Sorry, not sure what the proper
name for the character is. While at other times, it is a proper mouse
pointer, shaped like an arrow.
Is it possible to have the proper mouse pointer displayed at all times?
Thanks.
Isnt that a "feature" - its telling you that the area below the pointer
is for text entry.
That's correct.
rdesktop connects to a Windows host (usually) and Windows changes the
cursor depending on what it is hovering over. It *is* consistent from a
Windows POV
I see. It's just that I get the cursor that usually appears when the
mouse pointer is placed over some text, even when pointing at icons when
running rdesktop. I remember using another RDP client on another Linux
system where the cursor behaved the way it does when running Windows or
Linux direct.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation.
