<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">"None" is not "blank" - the patch is correct.
If a cursor is specified, it is displayed regardless of what window the pointer is in. If None is specified, the normal cursor for that window is displayed when the pointer is in grab_window or one of its subwindows; otherwise, the cursor for grab_window is displayed.
--- http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/input/XGrabPointer.html
Since the screenlocker qml window (nor the batterysucking fancy show) is not the grab_window, both will initially get the default cursor of the grab_window (atm. the left_arrow) and not receive mouse events (so w/ or w/o the patch, the qml locker will not display an I-beam when hovering the lineedit - at least not here, one would have to poll the mouse for this and don't you dare* ;-)
W/o an explicit grab_cursor, it however should be possible (never tested, but seems the case given the patch) to alter the cursor shape from other clients at any time (because it's not important for the grabbing client)
* unless we make use of http://keithp.com/blogs/Cursor_tracking/ for PW/2</pre>

I don't know why this has been done in the first place, but I couldn't see any negative effect by setting it to None. Now the mouse cursor even changes to the IBeam again when over the password field, which I find more intuitive.</pre>

Previously (since 4.10) the mouse cursor stayed visible, now it is blanked like it was the case before 4.10.
Moving the mouse/pressing a key (to quit the Screen saver) makes the mouse cursor appear again as it should, regardless of whether the screen is locked or not.</pre>
