[PATCH] RE: Ghost cursors (was: RE: alt-tab: client window receives tab / pressing both...)

[Stuart Adamson <stuart dot adamson at evolution dot net>]

Okay - attached is a patch which does this.  I've tested it with and without
the
-nodecoration flag (the windows mouse pointer still appears when you're over
the 
windows title bar).  Added an entry to the man page as well.

The magic command line argument is -hidewindowspointerwheninactive.
Somebody might
be able to come up with a slightly nicer name ;)  

In InitOutput.c I've initialized the ScreenInfo member for it to false as
fFullScreen
is also initialized to false - however I don't think either of these are
needed as
ZeroMemory() is called on the structure which should do this for us.
Was this an oversight when adding fFullScreen or is it like this to aid
readability?
