Thanks! The mouse issue is certainly a problem - there's no tracking between the virtual VNC cursor and the real guest cursor. I hope that having a host/guest interface port (see the other recent thread) will make the whole thing a lot easier. If we know where the guest's cursor is, we can figure out the relative movement required to get us there. It's tough for me to post it as a diff -u against CVS because I'm so weak with autoconf-related changes. I had to hack my own makefile just to get it to compile. I'll look into what it would take to turn it into a full-fledged patch.
