Package: slim
Version: 1.3.1-4
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When I login to an aewm session using SLiM I get no cursor on my screen.

If I click on my desktop to bring up my aewm menu I can move the highlight
down and up through the options on my menu by moving the mouse up and down
but there is no x cursor visible.

If I move the mouse off the menu I can't see where the cursor is and have to
click again wherever I am to bring up a new instance of the menu.

Once I open a window, e.g. an xterm or a web browser, and move the mouse over
that window I get my normal I beam cursor (or arrow cursor if appropriate) and
from then on I get the x cursor when I move the mouse around the desktop.

I tried uninstalling slim and installing xdm - I did not have this problem,
as soon as I logged in with xdm I could see a cursor on my screen.

I uninstalled xdm and reinstalled SLiM and the problem came back.
