[Scottish] X mouse cursor disappears

Hi there all

I'm running Debian testing (yes, I know I shouldn't expect it to work!)
Xorg 7.1.0-15
nv video driver (I think - I'm at work and this is my home machine)
AMD64 machine
kdm display manager

This all works perfectly until someone logs out, then the mouse cursor  
disappears, and will not return until I reboot!  This is a bit tedious, and  
she-who-must-be-obeyed is getting a little tetchy!  The mouse appears to work  
OK, as the focus changes properly, I can select items and I can get a menu  
from the root window (ctwm), the cursor is just invisible.

I've tried restarting the x-server (Ctrl-Alt_Bkspce) no better.
Restarting kdm - still no luck.

I can't find any logged bugs at debian that mention this.

Anyone any ideas?

Giles
