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. -- Michel Wilson michel at crondor.net PGP key ID 0xD2CB4B7E
