Hello:

I love this game, except for one technical issue. On occasion (it seems to be random), the mouse will break free from the game. What I mean is, the mouse suddenly no longer controls the movement of the character. As soon as I move it far enough, the cursor appears on the desktop behind the window, and my character won't move until I move the mouse back over the window. It's really annoying, and I know there's something stupid I need to do to fix it. I don't run the game in fullscreen because this is my laptop, and I sometimes run into trouble when I do that (but a windowed version works just fine).

Before anyone asks, I don't use Compiz (that's what they suggested on the World of Padman forums when the same problem cropped up there), and have never installed it, so I doubt that's the problem. The game appears to run perfectly in every other way. Does anyone recognize this problem?

Distribution version and SDL version (linux iourt uses SDL right?).

Sorry, I'm using Crunchbang. I believe it's 9.02. It's the latest one that came out before Statler. Based on Ubuntu/Debian, naturally. I have an ATI integrated video card with all the latest drivers. I don't know what SDL is, so I can't comment on that. Like I said, the game runs PERFECTLY in every other way.

It may be related to the particular window manager. Can you try others? (e.g. instead of KDE, Gnome, or a minimal one).

Metacity runs as default, as far as I know. I do not have Compiz. My manager is Openbox. Is it possible to try out another manager without removing what I have? I have it set up pretty much just how I like it at the moment.
