Input events option problem

Hi Bob,

The "Allow input events to affect the screen-saver" is a Windows system-wide
option, not specific to VNC.  VNC Server doesn't modify any options while
it's running, so if that option is changing then something else must be
modifying it.

Are you running any non-standard screen-savers or similar?

Regards,
