Now I tried FreedroidRPG, Blob Wars, OpenTTD, FreeCiv...  And looking 
at
other games using SDL[1], I'm sure there's more of them that I've 
played
before (including e.g. games in DosBOX) and I have never encountered 
this
problem before.

I have also tried

*   aptitude purge freedink && aptitude install freedink

*   creating a brand new user and running it under that one

*   switching to windowed mode with Alt+Tab (as you suggested in other
     bug #515597)--cursor is crazy even there

Nothing helped, I cannot "tame" the cursor in any way...

Thanks,
