Mouse cursor freezing up

I am a new iMAC user after many years on a PC. Quite often my mouse cursor freezes up on the screen and my only remedy seems to be to shut down and reboot. This can't be right! There must be a better solution. Can anyone out there assist me?

iMac 20", Mac OS X (10.5.2)

I discovered that the mouse freeze during logout only happens
when my mac is connected to the internet. If I unplug my netword
ethernet cable, I can logout and move the mouse at the same time
without having the mouse freeze. Can you please fix this, Apple ?

I have 2 MacPro desktops, one used for photos and one for video work (Final Cut), and BOTH have a freezing cursor problem. This is not at logout but whenever the Macs go into sleep mode. The cursors freeze in the upper left corner (or occasionally develop an uncontrollable urge to jump around). The only solution seems to be to hit the power button and restart, which I hate to do since conventional wisdom is that this can result in lost data.

Anyone have any good ideas on what the cause might be?
