I also use this patch to my full satisfaction for my Slackware package
of QEMU at http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/qemu/

With the addition of the VNC capability, this mouse misbehaviour was
introduced and never resolved which is a pity really. Also, VNC
functionality is still basically where it was when it was added to
QEMU - which is barely above useable status. I liked the functionality
offered by the libvncserver patch better but can no longer apply that.
Is someone going to take up adding the missing pieces to VNC
functionality? The suggested patch in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-05/msg00142.html
might help here, too.
