i'm guessing this is with some sort of fullscreen mode? the cursor stuff 
in SDL is pretty flaky when it comes to fullscreen displays/devices.

i'd say the best you can hope for is to redraw 'the area around the 
mouse' after hiding it. or..

using the 'gfxcursor' class from the pygame code repository might be 
your best bet to a foolproof cursor (plus you can use big sizes and 
pretty colors)
