When mouse disappears no way u can move from the "Exit" to "Cancel" button 
using keyboard. I tried "Escape", "Tab", "C", "Arrow", "Home", "End", 
"Page up/dn" keys.

So you have to be "David Copperfield" if you want click "Cancel"
when mouse disappers

But "Enter" key works for Exiting

I faced mouse disappearing when I followed these step
(I have DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 set in windows env variable)

1. XWin-Test82 -ac -multiwindow
2. run xterm
3. [play around in multiwindow mode]
4. run openbox [for making root window clicks]
5. [play around]
6. [Exit xterm]
7. [show rootwindow]
8. [exit openbox]
9. [hide rootwindow]
10 ..... mouse disappeared over tray icon menu.
11 ..... but you can right click and navigate 
12 ..... so tried to exit
13 ..... no mouse over exit dialogue

Harold,
Why not [show/hide rootwindow] all the time, 
ie regardless of -multiwindow or -rootless or nothing.

sometimes -multiwindow with a window manager give problem
while draging window, and taskbar icons are also missing

but -rootless with a window manager is ok
