The most recent update to Mac OS X (10.5.5), which included updates to
X11, appears to have caused problems with the IDL cursor routine. The
fixes that I have applied in the past, such as,
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
or
defaults write org.x.x11 wmclickthrough -bool true
no longer work.
I'm wondering if there are any obvious solutions to this problem.

A side note: I was able to make the cursor work in 7.0 with 10.5.5
and X11 2.3.1 by selecting "Click-through inactive windows" in X11
preferences.
Clicking works in 7.0.4 without this preference selected, but I don't
have an updated license file from ITT yet. It's the weekend and I
couldn't wait. Presumably Monday I'll get my new license file that
works with 7.0.4
