Re: [open-vm-tools-devel] Mouse Capture

[Adam T. <moz...@gm...>]

That is what I am seeing. the auto grab/ungrab feature doesn't work in IceWM
without vmmouse, yet it works in KDE/Xfce without vmmouse... The
vmware-guestd process is running in both instances... and vmware-user is
running in the instance of KDE for sure, I will have to check tomorrow
morning as to whether or not it is running for the others.
