Ok, so you're testing the console under Windows clients? Otherwise this is not all that relevant, and it would be good
to know which Linux version you are using for the tests.

Ok, some more questions:
* Are you using the windows or linux version of spicec /spicy for your testing?
* Which versions? (output rpm -q spice-gtk spice-client would help)
* Can you try building & installing the latest spice (0.10.1) and/or spice-gtk
   (0.9) on a Linux client machine and try the spicec / spicy from that and see
   if that makes a difference? I just tried a RHEL-5 vm on a RHEL-6.2 host
   without the agent and the mouse works fine.
