Re: REQ: No mouse repositioning @ end of XWin -multiwindow initialization[Alan H, ideas?]

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Alan,

Do you know where this code is located?  I looked in dix and os but was 
unable to find anything that looked related.  Is it a simple 
initialization of a default cursor structure that causes all cursors to 
show up in the center of the screen?

Perhaps it doesn't matter where this happens in X.  We could always just 
grab the current Windows cursor position and move the X absolute cursor 
position to match before our window is displayed.  It would be a little 
kludgy, but it might work.
