The mouse cursor disappears and becomes completely nonfunctional. Also,
you're stuck looking at the upper left 640x480 corner of the screen. For
best effect your desktop should be at ~1280x960 or more before running
the test. Note the gnome-display-properties applet doesn't even fit on
the screen.

supposedly fixed in F11 :)
