Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: normal

After running aptitude and quitting it, the pointer remains invisible
when one moves it, until one makes an xterm menu appear or one moves
the pointer out of the xterm window. This is always reproducible.

I've tried to reproduce this problem with "Log to File", and cat the
obtained log file, but in such a case, the problem doesn't appear.
The pointer even reappears instead of remaining invisible as long as
one doesn't move the mouse.
