It should continue to work, I think. Those are the two lines I asked you to
try to put in to solve a problem that ended up making no difference.
If they do though, then yes, they should stay.

You could be right, but since the default mode is to have mickeys enabled,
that will trap the mouse inside the Allegro window always (which is not a
good thing). The code you quoted is the current (or at least, 4.1.15 and
earlier) code, which seems to work well enough and not behave too badly.
I'm hesitant to change that too at the moment. I'd rather have the hardware
cursor working without causing problems it doesn't have to cause first and
then start cleaning up the mouse code afterwards instead of doing it all at
once.
