pointerMode is 2 in my case, so that when I type a key, the pointer disappears. But the man page says: "It will be redisplayed if the user moves the mouse", which xterm fails to do. Note: as long as aptitude is running, the mouse pointer is redisplayed when I move the mouse. The problem occurs after I quit aptitude. This bug seems to be old, since I can reproduce it with xterm 251. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
