Package: open-vm-toolbox
Version: 2008.09.03-114782-2
Severity: important


I have vmlock loaded, its FS mounted and vmware-user running ok. However my mouse is still trapped in the vm window.
Expected behaviour is that the mouse is free to move in and out of the window, without the need to press any mouse release keys.

X display resizing to the vmware window works ok, so does the copy/paste linking, so other parts of vmware-users opperation work correctly.

Also unity mode is not always available, and when it is, it does not function correctly. Guest windows receive keyboard events but not any mouse input. They can't even be dragged/moved/resized.

I use to have open-vm-tools compiled from source (from sf.net) but thought I'd try the debian packages to save me from having to manually update them. The mouse worked fine with this build, ie it was not trapped in the vmware window. I note that when I had to build open-vm-tools it required liburiparser >= 0.7.0, however the debian packages do not have this dependancy.
(Note, the Deban liburiparser 0.6.x package diffs apply cleanly against a 0.7.2 source, and after updating debian/changelog and the symbols version list, it builds ok)

given we've got hotplug support now, I'm assuming this bug's gone in
squeeze/sid. If anyone is still having issue, please report a new bug.
