You are as surprised as I was, because it is indeed a configure-time option to 
disable it, by default. Note that it's only the root window which is affected. 
I think it's possible to still have a cursor, by providing a cursor theme or 
something like that, but I haven't tested.
Question is: should this be included or not? I feel it's a useful option to 
have, because it's the simplest way of disabling the cursor. I tried a 
transparent cursor theme (see http://matchbox-project.org/sources/utils/), but 
didn't get it to work, yet. More elegant would be a xorg.conf option with the 
same effect, but I'm not sure if I'm up to that ;)

Regards,

Michel Wilson.
