Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.03-2
Followup-For: Bug #390685

Hi there,
I've found a workaround that I believe may be of help when trying to 
resolve the bug.
If, after the mouse hangs (and the pointer just disappears from screen) 
you're able to restart a screensaver, the pointer just reappears, fully 
functional.
Ex: After the mouse hangs, I execute the 
command `xscreensaver-demo` (from KDE's pop-up "execute command", 
ALT+F2), then open a preview window (ALT+P from the "screensaver 
preferences" window), and then my mouse starts working again.
Maybe this will help to fix the issue, or maybe help other users to have 
a manual workaround. Anyway, thanks for the best screensaver package on 
GNU/Linux!

Alex Henry
