Re: Debugging after mouse pointer grabbed

[Darren Kenny <Darren Kenny Sun COM>]

Seth,

The best thing to do here is to use seperate X displays for the debugger
and the application.

If you don't happen to have a seperate display, you can create one using
something like VNC, if you do this it's best to put the application being
debugged on the VNC server so that when the mouse grab is done you've still
got control on the "real" X server.

HTH,

Darren.
