Machine A running the VNC client is ok, even though using 100% CPU, but if I try to start an app from machine A that's on machine B the mouse pointer on machine B running the VNC server is very juddery, and the app doesn't start. On machine that's running the VNC client the mouse is ok. I can highlight stuff on the konsole, which is what I was looking to do, and then paste it into Kmails composer with no problem.
