There is a very annoying problem with a Citrix Receiver window when I started remote desktop'ing into a Windows 7 machine. This was not a problem when remote desktop'ing into Windows XP.
My Windows mouse pointer is invisible when the Citrix Receiver window (with Windows 7 not focused). But when the window does have focus, I can clearly see the mouse pointer as I move the mouse pointer across that window.
How can I make it such that you can always see the mouse pointer? Do you think it's a problem with the way Windows renders the mouse, or would this be a Citrix issue? I'm thinking the former.
Why is this annoying? … because I sometimes click in the wrong spot, which could compromise my workflow in Windows if I'm in the middle of doing work remotely.

I switched the mouse pointer in Windows 7 (of the remote machine) from "Windows Aero" (default) to "Windows Black (large)" and now it works well!
