            Bug ID: 442356
           Summary: Restore ability to see both local+remote cursors
           Product: krdc
           Version: 20.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: VNC
          Assignee: uwol...@kde.org
          Reporter: luke-jr+kdeb...@utopios.org
                CC: aa...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Prior to v20.12.0, krdc (with Local Cursor enabled) showed a dot cursor
locally, while leaving the remote VNC server to deal with the remote cursor.
This worked nicely.

Now, enabling local cursor extracts the remote cursor shape, and hides it in
the remote view. This has numerous issues:
1) Can't see where the remote cursor is [with Local Cursor enabled]
2) Can't see where the real/local mouse cursor is [with it disabled]
3) Remote cursor shape is used in "View only" mode, even though it doesn't
really make sense (in this case, I expect to see the default cursor locally,
and the remote cursor wherever it remains remotely).
4) As documented, in some cases turning off "Local Cursor" forces a reconnect,
though the server may not accept a new session (eg, x11vnc by default).

Please restore the old behaviour. (Perhaps the new behaviour can remain as an
option if people prefer it.)
