| That patch dates back to April 2008 to address an issue where the
| mouse pointer wasn't becoming visible again after xterm lost focus.
| See the attached email for reference. It was apparently meant as a
| stop-gap, and we never got around to figuring out the underlying
| issue.
|
| So... with current xterm, does the pointer become visible when xterm
| looses focus? If so, I can just remove the patch.
I'm not aware of any current reports about this.
