Now you see it, now you don't--the tale of the disappearing mouse...
I first began using Linux in January 2005 by installing Debian "sarge."
I was a very happy user until I upgraded my system on 4 June, just a
couple of days before 3.1 was released.
Since then I have had one major problem: I can't *see* the mouse at all
when I use "rdesktop." When I move the mouse on *my* desktop, it
disappears when it touches the edge of the "rdesktop" window and then
magically re-appears when it leaves the window on the opposite side. I
have seen the same mouse behaviour in exactly one other package on my
system: gwenview. Otherwise, the mouse seems to work correctly.
I don't know what is causing problem. In an extreme attempt to solve
the problem, I backed up all of my data and re-installed Debian 3.1r0
from a new CD image. Sadly, the problem remains.
