[solved]mouse pointer dissapears on ratpoison

In some applications the mouse pointer dissapears completely(the last one i tryed was apolos), in others it dissapears in some places and appears in others(emesene), and in some works fine(firefox).

Because it appears in some apps I have no idea what could be the problem

$ emesene
/usr/share/emesene/emesenelib/SignalHandler.py:21: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5
/usr/share/emesene/emesenelib/Msnobj.py:21: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  import sha

It's the first option in the connection tab in preferences

  return self.model.append(iterator, values)

$ apolos

Re: [solved]mouse pointer dissapears on ratpoison

Do you have "banish" setup in ratpoisonrc?
Banish would move mouse pointer to screen corner.

Can you pastebin your .ratpoisonrc?

Re: [solved]mouse pointer dissapears on ratpoison

yep, I have banish. I don't think it is banish because I can se the button highligth but I can't see the pointer.

my ~/.ratpoisonrc :

# setting the escape combo (default C-t)
escape C-z

# escape key to abort
bind Escape abort

# urxvt
bind c exec urxvt
bind C-c exec urxvt

# remove frame
bind R remove
#resize frames
bind r resize

# change group
bind x gnext
bind C-x gnext

# custom visual
set winname name
set bgcolor black
set fgcolor white
set padding 0 18 0 0
set border  0

# Printscreen
bind P exec sprof

# Scripts
exec ~/.ratpoison/ratinit
exec ~/.ratpoison/dzen

Re: [solved]mouse pointer dissapears on ratpoison

Figured that out, really dumm. I'm using slim and in the /etc/slim.conf file I had the option hidecursor as true.
