[Spice-devel] [PATCH 2/3] vdagent: don't stop due to UIPI blocking

[Arnon Gilboa]

User Interface Privilege Isolation is usually used only for specific windows of
system security applications (anti-viruses etc.), so with this patch mouse will
be irresponsive for these windows but keep working for the rest. A complete
solution might be switching to server mouse mode while the agent is still active.
