Hi,

I use the fvwm window manager. I find that after I start workrave from the terminal, the mouse pointer icon becomes a "+" symbol, instead of the normal "I" symbol. It takes one more keypress (Esc) or mouse click to bring it back to normal. The "+" symbol seems to indicate one wants to iconify or maximize a window in fvwm.

My workrave preference is only showing the systray icon (no applet, no GUI window).

I find if I enable the GUI window, the mouse pointer anomaly disappears.

Besides, with GNOME Shell, this issue does not occur either.

Hope this small yet annoying issue can be got rid of.

Workrave always creates the main window and immediately iconifies it if it is disabled. Perhaps this causes the '+' sign.

I just tried fvwm 2.6.5 on Ubuntu 15.10. With the main window disabled, fvwm shows an icon in the top-left corner when I start Workrave. The cursor disappears until I move the move. I immediately get a normal "I" pointer.

Perhaps you have a different fvwm configuration.

Indeed this is caused by my fvwm configuration. Details: I bind a function to new window event, which moves my cursor to the new window. However, since workrave immediately iconifies, the cursor is moved to a place where there is no window any more. With the "+" shape. After I "blacklisted" workrave in this function correctly, the issue is gone.
