When using the Steam overlay with the Linux version of Torchlight, which isn't currently a Steam native title, the in-game cursor is replaced with a default X cursor, and isn't restored to the game cursor when closing the overlay.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Torchlight.
    1a) If running a 64-bit system, extract the 32-bit binary and dependencies from the installer manually.
  2. Create a .desktop file for the 32-bit binary.
  3. Add it to the Steam library.
  4. Launch the game.
  5. Open the Steam overlay.

1-4 could probably be replaced with steps to add any other application which has custom cursors.

I think today's client beta has a fix for this.

Nothing extracted yet.
