Keyboard input lost and left mouse button reacts as if I pres sed the right button

[Conway, Brian J]

That sound similar to what I reported here:
http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2004-June/045853.html .  If you
lock and unlock the host through VNC, does it correct itself?  I've yet to
hear anything back on my original report, but it's 100% reproducible with a
3.3.7 or 4.0 vncviewer on a 4.0 vncserver.
