Answer is in

The mouse pointer disappears once the Vdagent is not running, this
happens due to a bug in which the function <EnablePointer> always
returns true. However the client mouse pointer should be disabled
when vdagent is off and enabled when it is on and thus this function
should return the current state of Vdagent.
