Mouse pointer disappearing

[Cliff Stanford <cliff at may dot be>]

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.

Regards,
Cliff.
