Twin Mice Problem

Is there a patch for this problem? (Two pointers is a nightmare).
I have found a workaround, so it is possible.
Step 1 - Run !VNCserver under VRPC-SE
Step 2 - Minimise VRPC-SE
Step 2 - Run ORL's VNCviewer on the PC running VRPC-SE (select own IP address)
Step 3 - When the VNCviewer dialogue box appears enter the password
Step 4 - Watch in amazement RISCOS desktop opens on XP desktop as a VNCviewer window.
Step 5 - Work with single mouse pointer which neatly moves back and forth from XP desktop to RISCOS desktop.

There used to be, but something broke in the recent versions of VRPC and now VA are pre-occupied with getting their Mac version to work

P.S. Cunning workaround! Are there any side-effects?

Re: " Cunning workaround! Are there any side-effects?"
Response time is slower. (so usability depends on the applications)
I was really just making the point that it can be done.
Even Red Squirrel does it
