I looked at this some more, and it's kind of inconsistent. I can't 
reproduce it exactly at will, but I can see it happening a lot.

What I'm seeing is that the cursor is getting "stuck" in various modes. 
Sometimes the mode is the invisible black i-beam. Other times, it's a 
pointer with an hour glass. If I go in and out of Excel, I can make it 
sometimes be a row-resize, or a down-arrow, or large plus sign. Once I 
had made it a down-arrow, and then I went into Firefox, and it changed 
to the ibeam. I could get then change it back to something else in Excel...

      I'm trying rdesktop on a Raspberry pi using the RPi Thin Client

      The cursor is a black I-Beam all the time. On the default
