Yep.  For me, the cursor is not draw/visible either after raising the
Emacs window by a mouse click on the decoration.  (I use Window Maker
0.80 and Emacs compiled with LessTif 0.93.18.)  However, to get the
cursor back again, moving the mouse out of the Emacs window does not
help.  Clicking inside the Emacs window does make the cursor visible
again.

When I raise the Emacs window (after it was covered by another X
window) by clicking with the mouse inside the Emacs window, the cursor
is not drawn either.  Clicking a second time does show the cursor
again.
