Sarcasm duly noted, but you didn't read what I wrote, even though you
quoted it.  I want to be able to override that setting on the command
line so I can have the cursor either visible or hidden, depending on
whether I'm launching in windowed mode or full-screen mode.  I have a
machine where I use both modes at different times, and it's a pain to
page through the setup menus to change it every time.

It's possible that --override-setting would work, but it's not clear to
me what to use for KEY=VALUE to get the behavior I want.
