SUMMARY

Not seeing th emouse cursor when connected to a libvirt/qemu VNC console

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a VM with libvirt, specifying a VNC console. For my specific setup, run the Anaconda installer (RHEL/CentOS/clones/Fedora) in the VM. 
2. Connect to the VNC console using KRDC
3. Wait for a GUI screen

OBSERVED RESULT

No mouse cursor; the mouse still works if one guesses the position right. Enabling "local cursor" stops the remote responding to the mouse entirely; one has to disconnect and reconnect for the mouse to work again.

EXPECTED RESULT

Mouse works normally. Note: mouse does work normally on the same console when connected with TigerVNC.
