[gtk-vnc-devel] [PATCH 7/7] Enable local_pointer by default to make aiming easy on high-latency X connections 2008-12-17 Federico Mena Quintero <federico novell com>

[Federico Mena Quintero <federico novell com>]

        * src/vncdisplay.c (vnc_display_init): Enable local_pointer by
        default, so that we get a local cursor to make aiming easy.
        Otherwise, we have to wait for the VNC server to tell us to
        paint the cursor (or the plain screen image if VNC cursors are
        not supported).  This makes things much more usable when gtk-vnc
        is being proxied (say) over SSH to a remote, low-bandwith X server.
