Lost the cursor again last week. Running Evolution, Konsole, Konquerer,
Firefox, and Psi. I hope this goes to "confirmed" soon. I had heard that

I have all the extras, both the regular and the GL. However, I don't use
the random screensaver setting. I only use the "Intermomentary" hack

I have seen this behavior as well. In many cases, I have retained
keyboard control in whatever application had focus when the screensaver
