Subject: bug#17609: 24.4.50; trunk r117096: disappearing cursor in X
Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 15:43:37 +0200

Starting with revision 117096, the X cursor will sometimes disappear and
remain invisible until as long as emacs is running.

Steps to reproduce (emacs with X support):

1) emacs -Q and the initial frame (frame A) appears

2) C-x 5 2 and new frame (frame B) appears

3) switch to frame B and position the mouse cursor inside the frame

4) start typing in frame B's scratch buffer - the mouse cursor
   disappears

5) C-x 5 0  to kill frame B

6) back in frame A, but the cursor is still invisible. It remains
   invisible until emacs is exited.


Expected behavior: in step 6, the cursor should have appeared
again. This is working correctly in revision 117095.
