Description christian 2006-09-20 19:09:32 UTC
it's keeping me from making a true change-over to linux.  i tried slackware, redhat, knoppix, and gentoo, across 3 different computers, 32bit, 64bit, intel, amd.  i've searched high and low for a fix...

my system works beautifully.  gimp emerges fine.  the problem... the cursor disappears if placed over an image to do any kind of work.  i can use the selection tool and just a couple of others without a problem.  but i can not use the pencil, paintbrush, burn/dodge, and most others without the cursor becoming invisible.  the cursor reappears as soon as it leaves the image area.  i have no problems with the cursor in any other program.  if i bring up curses or levels, the cursor will reappear temporarily.  i've tried gimp and gimpshop.  i've tried emerging different version.  i've built and installed gimp manually.  i've tried different types of mice.  all to no avail.  please help/advise.  this problem basically makes gimp half useless.
