Robert,

Just tried resetting after I lose keyboard input and it closes and relaunches TeacherTool. The password dialog box comes up when I select Control and accepts keystrokes. This dialog box always accepts keyboard input 

I had keyboard input in Sylpheed (mail program) but then lost it after launching a terminal. Tried launching a terminal first and had input in the terminal, switched to Sylpheed, no input. Shutdown TeacherTool, killed off all instances of vnc (ps -ef | grep vnc) and on subsequent launches I had no keyboard input. 

It seems to be a random problem and I cannot see a pattern to when I have and when I don't have keyboard input. Do you think this may be an aberration peculiar to my setup? I don't need Control and Broadcast but I'm happy to do more tests if it will help make TeacherTool more robust. 

Thanks for your help so far.
