Mouse cursor, right?  Turning it off was intentional.  It's done that
way to the cursor doesn't distract the video viewing or anything else --
afterall, many (most?) of us are using myth only on our tv's and with a
remote.

But turning it back on when mythfrontend exits *would* be very nice..
not having it that way is causing me to run a completely separate X
session for other apps.  Which isn't *that* much of a problem, because I
like running at a high-res then anyway.
