No Mouse Pointer in a Fullscreen Shadow Session on MS Windows

[sunweaver]

package: nxagent

While it is to be expected that you can't see the mouse pointer of the
user you're trying to assist, not seeing your own mouse pointer is
really quite annoying.

This only happens in fullscreen mode and on MS Windows.

I have the same issue (X2Go Client 4.0.5.0 and Windows 7) connecting to LXDE running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as well as connecting to LXDE running on Lubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Same here:
Connecting from Windows 7 x64, X2Go client v4.1.1.1 (Qt - 4.8.6)
To: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinamon x64, X2Go server v4.1.0.0

Everything is fine while connecting from Linux to the same server.

Still the same for me :((
Connecting from Windows 10 x64, X2Go client v4.1.2.2 (Qt - 4.8.6)
To: Linux Ubuntu 20.04 x64, XFCE, X2Go server v4.1.0.3

This is expected, as no one has worked on that yet...

It the behaviour the same if you switch to fullscreen with ctrl-alt-f vs. ctl-alt-shift-f?

Ctrl-alt-shift-f doesn't work for me and if i switch to fullscreen with ctrl-alt-f everything is fine.

Unrip's work-around worked for me in the Windows client. In a little more detail: Set up x2goclient to use something other than full-screen. I used Custom with WxH set at those of host (1920X1040). Connect to the server - at least for me, I see the pointer. Then Ctrl-Alt-F to switch to full screen. Mouse still there. BTW, I also had blurry fonts when going to full-screen. A tip on StackOverflow solved it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48091637/x2go-resolution-from-windows-client
