I experience the same problem with 2.4.0~rc6-1 But the bug appears only if OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP is set to gnome. The mouse doesn't flicker if it's unset or set to "kde"
The problem can also be solved when running unclutter with -noevents -noevents stops unclutter sending a pseudo EnterNotify event to the X client whose cursor has been stolen. Sending the event helps programs like emacs think that they have not lost the pointer focus. This option is provided for backwards compatibility in case some clients get upset. -- Luc Dufresne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
