Wow 
!! Amazing 
I installed Xubuntu a couple of weeks ago, but I hadn't tried FreeDink until now. MouseDink works great under it.
I wasn't able to install it with your instructions for Debian-based though (which includes Xubuntu I am assuming). When I tried to add the sources via the utility I got this error:
Failed to fetch http://freedink.org/snapshots/debian/./Packages.gz 301 Moved Permanently
Failed to fetch http://freedink.org/snapshots/debian/etch-backports/./Packages.gz 301 Moved Permanently
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
and if I ensured it was in sources.list anyway it still wouldn't install:
paul@paul-desktop:/usr/share/dink$ sudo apt-get install freedink
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package freedink
So I had to compile the source code from freedink-1.08.20080731.tar.gz.
Also, full screen mode worked the first two times I ran it but afterwards it fails to change my monitor resolution. So it just looks like Windowed mode without the border and in the absolute left-top corner. This might have been due to running Seth's dink.exe under Wine (that can't run MouseDink properly, by the way). Swapping with alt-enter doesn't fix this, and the terminal doesn't report any error.
It's still mind-blowingly cool though
