Review request for kde-workspace and Martin Gräßlin.


Bugs: 311571 and 316459
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311571
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316459


Repository: kde-workspace


Description
-------

Setting the cursor to ArrowCursor when calling XGrabPointer() prevents the \
Screen savers from blanking the mouse cursor.

I don't know why this has been done in the first place, but I couldn't see \
any negative effect by setting it to None. Now the mouse cursor even \
changes to the IBeam again when over the password field, which I find more \
intuitive.


Diffs
-----

  ksmserver/screenlocker/ksldapp.cpp f0526cf 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/114841/diff/


Testing
-------

Configure a Screen saver in systemsettings and wait for it to kick in (or \
lock the screen manually). Previously (since 4.10) the mouse cursor stayed \
visible, now it is blanked like it was the case before 4.10. Moving the \
mouse/pressing a key (to quit the Screen saver) makes the mouse cursor \
appear again as it should, regardless of whether the screen is locked or \
not.


Thanks,

Wolfgang Bauer
