I have same issue after upgrade 14.10 to 15.04 this morning. I cant see mouse pointer but mouse obvious working since I see when i go trough menus mouse hover state. I read this comments here and in my case killing gnome-session solve issue for that session. After rebooting issue is still here, but I can back mouse by killing session again... so I can work today until it will be fixed.

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.
