aaaah. indeed a big typo. made a big difference. i kind of auto-corrected this
to "i upgraded x AND upgraded e to 0.22".

currently my suspicions are it's an x bug, unless somehow e is messing up its
internal state ... but even then - for the cursors, it'll emit a signal
multiple times which will actually just result in the previous animation
cancelling and a new one starting. i can't think of how the cursor "not
changing at all" could be triggering here other than updates to the cursor
during resume being ignored for some reason because the xserver woke up and was
"doing things".
i did shorten the delay on resume before e begins doing its fade in... but the
fade in is the same as always. can you look at:
src/bin/e_sys.c
these 2 lines in _e_sys_comp_resume():
ecore_timer_add(0.3, _e_sys_screensaver_unignore_delay, NULL);
ecore_timer_add(0.6, _e_sys_comp_resume2, NULL);
they used to be 0.5 and 1.5 respectively. can you change them back and see if
it works again? (and put back the backlight config you changed).
