[Bf-committers] Game engine issues...

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

At least it should hide it only inside the player window, not for the  
entire deskop. Impossible to close the playerwindow even, ESC doesn't  
work.
The mousecursor only shows when you click outside the window, which is  
very annoying when you don't see the cursor even!

But in general I think that games that play not fullscreen, but in a  
window, should not even *think* of hiding the cursor. You intrude a  
desktop environment in a very negative way.
