Description
Expected Behavior
I suspect that this does not work when not running locally (or at least not through NoMachine). There should be some test to only move the motor when this is a 'direct' session if possible. I have not tried to use 'plain' ssh & x forwarding.
Current Behavior
When running motor-expert-screen via NoMachine, I get an error message regarding some failed test in line 141. This is where xdotool is used to get the screen position and we try to move the screen to where the mouse is.

Research direction
Start with motor-expert-screen and inspect the code around line 141, where xdotool obtains the screen position and moves the screen under NoMachine. Reproduce the error in a NoMachine session and compare it with a direct session or plain SSH with X forwarding. Done means the script handles non-direct sessions without the reported error and preserves direct-session behavior.
