Bug#461019: pointer hidden during typing is not quite (hidden)
Package: xterm
Version: 231-1
Tags: patch
The cursor xterm uses for the hidden mouse pointer has a non-empty mask,
so when I start typing, the I-bar is replaced with a black dot, which I
find quite distracting. With this patch, the pointer's cursor has a
blank image and mask and so when it is used nothing is visible.
