Hi I also run into the same problem after upgrading to the XWin 6.7.0.0-7 recently. I am using VirtuaWin (multi-desktop for Windows) on Windows 2000 Workstation and for a few times the cursor disappeared after I switched from one destop to another. I can't reliable reproduce it. When I say the cursor disappeared, I mean the cursor wouldn't disappear if I moved it inside any of the X windows. I ended up having to restart X. This is quite inconvenient.
Thanks.

After a remote desktop session the cursor completely disappears in the X window client area. Here's what I'm seeing: - Run a cygwin bash shell - XWin -multiwindow -clipboard - Run xterm on a Linux box w/ PuTTY tunneling X. - Move the cursor around the xterm. Nice I-Beam. - Go to another machine, remote desktop in. - xterm is still active app but cursor is now outside the xterm window over the windows desktop but with X's X cursor. - Move cursor around. It remains the X cursor wherever you move it. Verify. - Activate a Windows app (IE) and then back to xterm. Cursor returns to I-Beam and proper behavior. - Shut down remote desktop. Return to tty. - Now when the mouse moves over any X window it completely disappears. Also, at this point, copying anything will completely crash XWin. I'm in the process of looking into it. My debug build of current sources doesn't exhibit this behavior. I'll try a non-debug build next. Hey, is there a safe, automated, way to do a full, clean build of just Xserver? Dan
