Description Thomas Fitzsimmons 2010-10-15 19:15:10 UTC
Created attachment 39474 [details]
Small reproducer that hides the cursor, waits 60 seconds, then exits.

If you hide the cursor with XFixes, then switch to a virtual console, then switch back to the X session, the cursor is visible again.

To reproduce the issue, compile the attached source file with:

gcc -g -Wall -o xfixes-vc-bug xfixes-vc-bug.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs x11 xfixes`

then run the binary:

./xfixes-vc-bug

Confirm that the cursor disappears.  Then within 30 seconds switch to a virtual console then back to the X session.  Note that the cursor is visible again even though the binary that hid the cursor using XFixes is still running.
