Since the 9.10 upgrade my windows Virtual machine in vmware-workstation 6.5.2 is flaky - specifically the mouse is flaky.

I have a 2-screen setup with one of them set to the Windows VM fullscreen.

It seems ok all over the screen, but the mouse acts extremely flaky near the top and the bottom of the windows VM in fullscreen mode. It suddenly changes to a hand from a pointer and becomes 2 pointers when I take the pointer to the bottom of the screen. If I click I have to click several times for the click to actually go into the VM, weird and weird.

Near the top of the screen, if I click to 'restore' the fullscreen vmware window, it positions itself near the X to close the window, and other similar crazy things.

In non-fullscreen modes it is perfectly OK. Not sure what's happening. Appreciate all help.

Thanks

Also - not sure if the two are related, but if I go from fullscreen to window mode on the VM, compiz dies! No idea why or how.

Thanks
