Mouse pointer disappearing
Forgive me if this has been asked before, I did search, honest. :) I use XWin all the time on my Windows box, mostly with a bunch of xterms and gvim windows open from machines around the network and the world. I run with Xmouse (from M$'s tweakUI). The startup string I use in /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat is: run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -multiplemonitors -nowinkill and then I kick off and initial xterm with: run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l Every so often and I have been unable to find a pattern, the mouse pointer will disappear when over any XWin window. It doesn't matter which kind of cursor should be displayed, I see none, even over the title bar. The only solution I have found is to close all the windows and close the X Server from the systray. Even the warning window that pops up has no mouse pointer. Does anyone know what's likely to be causing this? Or how to get the pointer back when it happens without losing my windows? Or do I have something configured wrong? Any help appreciated.

It probably is a Cygwin/X bug -- I've heard it mentioned before. I don't think there is a fix, but there *is* a workaround -- the X menu (which you get by right-clicking on the X icon in the system tray) should have a "Show Cursor" item, which will make the cursor reappear.

mouse pointer disappearing w/ Thunderbird
Hi All, I don't quite know what to do with this, so I'll just tell you what I'm seeing and hopefully you'll be able to tell me what the next steps are. I *think* this is a cygwin x bug. I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail client, and I've noticed that if I move the mouse over top of an X window (say, an x-term) during the time that the new message notification popus up on my taskbar, my mouse pointer will disappear, and won't reappear over any other X window until I restart XWin. Any idea what this could be?
