Indeed, the mouse pointers should be combined on entry into the VRPC window.
Other emulators can do it, so why doesn't VRPC? It's the one thing above all
else that really irritates me in VRPC!

I have the Windows taskbar on the left of the screen. I find it more useful
there on Windows AND it helps my mind switch from ROS mode (bottom-bar) to
Windows mode (left-bar). But the dumb twin pointers often ends up closing a
ROS window or starting a new email or something.

I had expected the latest paid-for update would have fixed that, but sadly
not.
