Twm cursor warping eludes VNC Win95 client

[Ian! D. Allen [NCFreeNet]]

I use the twm "warping" feature that lets me use keyboard characters to
move ("warp") the cursor between windows.  Unfortunately, this moving of
the cursor isn't noticed by my Win95 VNC client - the little dot stays in
the original window, while my "real" cursor moves to the new window,
along with keyboard focus.

Things work mostly fine until I go to move the mouse for something, or
until I SHIFT-TAB to a Win95 application and SHIFT-TAB back, or until
some scheduled Win95 application pops up a window on my screen and then
disappears.  Any of these things cause the "real" cursor to distractingly
jump back to the original window, where the little dot is, abandoning the
window where I was typing and taking keyboard focus with it.  Suddenly
I'm typing back in the original window, not in the window that I had
warped into.  I can re-warp back to the other window, but it still
won't take the "little dot" cursor with it to make the warp "permanent".

I don't know how the Linux VNC server can tell the Win95 VNC client that
the cursor has "warped" to a different place; but, I wish it could.
The same problem happens when I warp the cursor into the twm icon
manager using the keyboard; the "little dot" cursor doesn't follow.
