Thanks, Randy, but I've only got the one laptop display.

It was unset all along, Bob. I even tried setting it, logging out,
unsetting it, logging out again, but it was still there.

The mouse viewport seems to be slightly wider than the 1600×900 display,
so when the pointer wraps around there's a small deadband before it
comes back to the other side of the screen.

Thanks for the answers. It's still got me stumped.

cheers,
 Stewart
