Well, if you're using gnome, then the simplest pointer location method
is to GUI select:

System->Preferences->Mouse->Locate_Pointer

That states: "Show position of the pointer when the Control key is
pressed". It occurs only in the window with focus, and works whether
there's vim running or not. The expanding rings, resembling a sonar
ping, are highly visible.

There is then no need for the vim function.

How to do the same in other desktops has not needed investigation here.
