Just to expand on the issue as an Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 user: the mouse pointer is invisible on login screen (GDM 3.14.1), in overview and when hovering over the top bar, left dock, "run" dialog (alt+F2), notifications, message try or any context menu / drop-down list these surfaces generate (GNOME Shell 3.14.3). It does, however, display correctly on desktop surface as well as in all other applications.
The property `active` of `gsettings set org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.cursor' is indeed set to `true` but setting it to `false` doesn't help (tried to reset, restart and finally reboot afterwards - all to no avail). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390628 Title: Mouse pointer invisible after upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Debian: New Bug description: After upgrading from Xubuntu 14.04 to 14.10, the mouse pointer became invisible AFTER the user session start. This is why it looks like an XFCE problem (although it might be another problem with Xorg or the graphics stack triggered by XFCE). The mouse works perfectly in the login page, and when logging in with an user, it works fine when the XFCE logo is shown while starting the session, but afterwards, a graphics mode seems to change (I can see some activity in Xorg.log) and after that I can't see the mouse pointer anymore. The mouse works, the pointer is just invisible. I can even use it through VNC, I can see the VNC client showing the pointer perfectly too. This is rendering my computer virtually unusable.
