[PD-dev] Mouse pointer disappears over pdp windows...

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Let's keep this on the list.  I'm not a pdp or graphics dev, so I won't be
able to help as the questions get deeper, but I'm happy to help you dig.  It
would be good to have more work on PDP, its a solid library.

I do remember vaguely Tom Schouten talking about this, did you try to search
the archives of the pd lists? Or maybe try emailing Tom directly.

You could also look at Gem and gridflow to see how they handle it.
