How dificult can be to write a small app that get the cursor and restore
the cursor?

restoremouse.o

then run games trough a script:

#!/bin/sh

./mygamedoom -q $1 $2 $3
./restoresemouse.o


I am not linux developer, so I dont know how you trap the cursor on
linux, but maybe you can do something like this:

/*compile me as restoremouse*/
void main() {
  trap_mouse();
  untrap_mouse();
  untrap_mouse();
}
