Q: Screen Sharing with a Raspberry Pi

I am trying to control my Raspberry Pi using my Mac.

 

I have connected using the Screen Sharing App within Finder but, whilst I can see my Raspberry Pi screen, I can't control it. The icons at the top of the screen indicate that the Mac screen sharing app thinks that it is in control mode but I can't click on anything on the desktop of the Raspberry Pi.

 

I can access the files on the Raspberry Pi and I can also SSH from the Terminal. Its just the control of the Raspberry Pi from the screen that I can't do.

 

I am able to control another Raspberry Pi on my network but not this one. Has anybody any suggestions as to how I can make the screen sharing client go into control mode?

 

Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
