If that's what we're talking about, know that vmmouse isn't the only = provider of this feature; the vmware-user process is another. My guess is that = you've been running vmware-user in the background and that the auto grab/ungrab provided by vmware-user on IceWM doesn't work for some reason. Can you confirm or deny this? |
