I also lost the cursor yesterday for the first time since I got rid of
gnome screensaver several weeks ago. I had OpenOffice, nautilus, xmms,
gmail notifier and maybe Firefox running. This is the first time it's
happened on Edgy Eft as well. The version of x-screeensaver I have
installed is: 4.24-4ubuntu2. Also installed is xscreensaver-data
(4.24-4ubuntu2), rss-glx (0.8.1-3ubuntu2) and xscreensaver-gl
(4.24-4ubuntu2).
