I have all the extras, both the regular and the GL. However, I don't use the random screensaver setting. I only use the "Intermomentary" hack (currently). I have had the problem of losing the cursor with a couple of the other hacks as well, both GL and non-GL, so I don't think it is the particular hack that is causing the problem. I think it is a problem with the xscreensaver program itself not handing cursor control back to X correctly, or not exiting cleanly. When the screensaver is running, if I hit a key, or move the mouse, I get the username/password dialog box. The cursor will work fine there, but cannot move outside that box. Then, after I enter the username/password to unlock, and return to the desktop, the cursor doesn't show up anymore.
