The symbol is only added in the X11 version.

Yes, I agree. So not changing this now would be the right thing :P

But then, I always found it odd that the cursor disappears and is warped
to the center of the Allegro window.. not sure why I didn't think of
changing this earlier myself. And it can simply be switched on again
with a config variable.

I think I'll have a look how hard it is to to the same for windows while
working on the ToAscii patch (*sigh* that ToAscii oversight also
shouldn't have happened. I made sure the WM_CHAR driver would work in
win98 - then when I found out how to get the DInput driver working,
completely forgot about win98).
