    Suppress cursor display until the first XDefineCursor() request.
    
    Yes, this means the server will start without showing a cursor.  Pretty
    much any application that wants to interact with the mouse will define
    cursors, so this essentially just delays showing it until gdm (or
    whatever) loads.
