Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

When gnome-screensaver is running (as a background process, not while
the screen is locked), movement of the mouse cursor isn't registered in
the NoMachine nxclient.

nxclient worked in edgy, but in feisty this problem occurs.

versions: gnome-screensaver 2.17.8
nxclient version 2.1.0-11 

How to reproduce:

Use nxclient to log into a server running nomachine nxserver, freenx or 2xterminalserver.
Left-click anywhere on the desktop of the remove machine. Release mouse button.
Move the mouse, try to click on an icon on the desktop of the remote machine. You'll probably miss, since the movement of the mouse hasn't been registered with the remote machine.

Now kill the gnome-screensaver process on the local machine, and
everything starts working as it should (e.g. mouse movements gets
registered with the remote machine).
