With the current Cygwin X server (or what is as close as I can get to the current one, because cygwin.com is unreachable for me) I have noticed that the mouse pointer disappears when the window has focus. If I just move the pointer over the X server window and it isn't focused then the pointer changes into a correct X pointer for the application running in the X server (for example it changes into an up-down arrow when hovering over the modeline in xemacs). But as soon as I click in the X server window to give it focus, the mouse pointer disappears and remains disappeared as long as the pointer location is above the X server window, and that window is focused.
I can't reproduce this every time but I have seen it on a few occasions.
