Bug#648111: xephyr: When starting a nested x session inside of a VMware hypervisor, mouse will not capture properly.

[Grayson Head <grayson@rsitex.com>]

Package: xserver-xephyr
Version: 2:1.7.7-13
Severity: normal
File: xephyr
Tags: squeeze

When starting a nested x session using xephyr inside of a vmware hypervisor (in
this case Vmware workstation 8.0.0 build-471780) the mouse will not capture. I
can click control shift and it appears to capture, but I am unable to click on
anything. Pressing it again uncaptures the mouse as it should. I have tried
this with both vmware workstation and player (the same hypervisor anyway, it
shouldn't matter). I have a friend that tells me he is unable to re-create the
error on virtualbox. I have experienced the same behaviour on 3 different
computers, 2 of which are the same version (8.0.0 build-471780) and one is
outdated (workstation 6).
