Hello,
I run Salem via Java Web Start Application Iced Tea and although I can tell my mouse is "there" and working, because I can click on stuff, I can't see the mouse and have to guess where it is.
Occasionally I do see the mouse, but only for fractions of a second. Only once in a while. The game is unplayable in this state, and I haven't been able to make a character yet.
Any other linux users running into this issue?
Edit: I see that they are!

No fix listed in that thread, though!
