Mouse Problem

[James Weatherall]

ZoneAlarm specifically ignores "synthentic" mouse input - this is a feature
of ZoneAlarm intended to prevent malicious software from disabling it by
opening up its UI & sending it mouse events.  You can simply disable that
feature in ZoneAlarm in order to be able to use it via VNC, if you want.
