A client computing device that includes a client desktop having at least one window that is controlled by a server computing device receives a cursor message from a pointing device. The client computing device moves a cursor from an initial position to a new position on the client desktop based on the cursor message. When the new position of the cursor is within a border of the at least one window, the client computing device generates a cursor position message based on the new position of the cursor. The cursor position message is then transmitted to the server computing device, wherein the server computing device updates a cursor position on a server desktop that is associated with the at least one window based on the cursor position message.
