disappearing cursor in os x panther?

Over the past two months (before the 10.3.8 update) I’ve been having trouble with my mouse pointer disappearing. It happens after I’ve had an external display hooked up. If I put the computer to sleep while the external display is connected (or just after disconnecting it), I frequently (but not always) don’t have a cursor when I wake it back up. The keyboard still functions, and the mouse still works—I just can’t see where it’s pointing. So, if I move it up and left, eventually I can click on menus, but I have to guess where the cursor really is.

Can’t track anything down online, so I thought I’d ask here—anybody seen this happen? Better yet, anybody know a fix? (And yes, Jeremy, I’ll call it into the help desk, too… :)
