[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.2_rc2

[Brian Bender]

More detail: this behavior seems unique to just (so far) vncviewer. It
seems to be something to do with the pointer capture/release. Local
X11 apps, rdesktop, etc. are not showing the same behavior.

I'm using RealVNC's "VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.3 for X", in case
you're interested. But it seems to be a pretty isolated edge case.
