[Scottish] X mouse cursor disappears

[Kyle Gordon]

Could be http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412789

What if you log out and then don't press any keys? Does the cursor 
appear, but stay in the middle of the screen? The cursor is usually 
blanked when you press a key, hence why I think it could be that bug...

Ta,

Kyle
