Public bug reported:

Due to a x11vnc limitation, only mouse buttons, not pointer movement,
can be grabbed with -grabptr command line option. So, when Epoptes
server assists a client with option grabkbdptr=True, client user can
still move pointer locally, which can be annoying to the teacher.

Epoptes-client could circumvent this limitation by running a script that
slows down (via xinput command) local pointer movement, waits for
current x11vnc proccess to finish, and then restores local pointer
movement.
