[comp.sys.next] Help: Losing cursor after exiting Mouse-X

zazula@uazhe0.physics.arizona.edu (RALPH ZAZULA) (05/11/91)

I'm using Mouse-X with the XNextPaste extension.  I have a .xinitrc that
ends with twm so when I EXIT from twm, Mouse-X quits.  When I exit,
the cursor is gone.  It re-appears if I log out/in.  Is there a fix to
this???

Thanks,
Ralph

	That's what the 'showcurs' program is for.  Just put it after the
	xinit as follows:

	xinit [options, blah blah] ; showcurs

	That way it will run as soon as xinit is finished (when you shut X
	down).
