Are they locking their screens when they are away. What Xscreensaver modules are being used? You might try configuring Xscreensaver to just blank the screen rather than running a graphical saver program; and see if that makes a difference. I too have seen the mouse pointer completely disappear on one of my FC3 systems; but it's a PS/2 mouse and it only happened when I had a program like gqview (which was dropped in FC3) was up in full-screen mode and then I let the screensaver kick in. Also, I could never get the pointer back without actually killing my X session. I figured it was a bug in gqview. -- Deron Meranda
