I don't use the calendar, so I don't  know for  sure what is happening
to you.    My guess,  though,    is that   it  turns off  the   cursor
intenionally (pretty  normal for  a graphical interface) and then just
neglects  to turn  it back  on.  If   that's the case,   you can do it
yourself far easier than logging out.  Try this from the shell level:

	$ echo '\033[=0C\c'    #  cursor on
	$ echo '\033[=1C\c'    #  cursor off

Cursor visibility is a per-window attribute.
