Yes, I occasionally remote desktop into the machine.

I occasionally get this on my laptop as well (running XP sp1 and latest
cygwin+xorg). This happens in local xterms as well. It might have happened
after doing some "ssh -X somewhere_else" stuff, but I wouldn't call that
remote desktop (but maybe you would).

Note that I almost never reboot my laptop but hibernate it and drag it
around. Don't know if this would upset the X server.

I have had other occasional weird things such as the X server refusing
connection from everything (saying something along the lines of "refusing
connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0" which was my current IP number). I
thought this might have happened because my IP number changed from when I
started the server, but I haven't been able to reproduce this.

Thanks for all the effort!

Do you happen to use remote desktop or anything like it?  That's when
I've noticed similar cursor problems.
