When doing an X login as root in 9.3, it is annoying that the pointer
is warped to the right of the screen, though the initial xterm is
still located on the left.  We could move the xterm to the right,
under the console window, as with the initial gnome-terminal in a
standard login, but that would seem a little strange, since there is
nothing else on the left of the screen.  We could also try to do
something more clever to warp the pointer to the proper place, but I
wonder if it would be best simply to stop warping the pointer entirely.
