if you can't see what.

I noticed this while testing with twm+xterm. It's probably this new
feature (from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XserverOnePointSix)
The X server will suppress display of the mouse cursor until a
client connects and sets a cursor. Most desktop environments
and window managers will not be affected. The xsetroot command's
-cursor_name option can be used to set a cursor.
Haven't tried it yet .. but I bet that's it. Xorg 1.6 just rolled out.
