I see the issue only in Steam games, and only when they are running in
fullscreen mode.  When running non-Steam games (e.g. Age of Empires 2/3 and
Lord of the Rings Online), I do not encounter this issue, and the games display
their own cursors just fine, with no hint of the Linux pointer anywhere.

I am running:
Wine 1.3.24, compiled from source
Fedora 13
Latest proprietary nVidia driver
1.5 GB RAM
Athlon 64 X2 processor
