The mouse cursor disappears without pressing any keys.

I'll be honest - I don`t know what I can change pertaining to my 
graphics card (hardware cursor) that would potentially fix this nor do I 
even know how to do this. It would be nice if you could give me some 
more clues about this.
Also I am not using KDE or GNOME. This problem happens only while using 
specific applications or having specific windows open in Ratpoison.
The mouse cursor acts as it is supposed to in Xfce4`s default window 
manager.

Deluge does not use xulrunner if I`m not mistaken and the problem still 
occurs while using it.

That did not help.
