Description Derper Derperson 2013-02-13 12:28:17 UTC 
I'm running Kubuntu Quantal, though this error was in previous versions of the distro as well, where I've switched the mouse setup to be left handed.

When I connect via RDP to a host running Windows with a right-handed mouse setup, my button presses are interpreted verbatim, i.e., it doesn't care that I'm running a left handed setup locally, but simply passes the mouse presses right into the Windows host.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a KDE to have left handed mouse setup.
2. Connect to a Windows host with right handed setup through RDP.
3. Press the right mouse button and notice it'll be interpreted as the right mouse button in Windows, even though it should be registered as the left one.
Actual Results:  
Right mouse button is registered as right mouse button, and left button as left button, in Windows.

Expected Results:  
Right mouse button should be registered as left button in Windows, and vice versa.

Derper: is this a dupplicate of issue #211346?

Yes, yes, it is. I've no idea how I missed out on that one when searching through old bugs, but there you go... 

Anyways, sorry for the hassle.
