Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.8.5-2
Severity: normal

Yesterday GNOME 3.8 landed in Jessie, and the upgrade has been pretty painless
so far (much thanks and congratulations!) but there's one minor thing that's
bugging me: my mouse-cursor movement is a lot jerkier than I'm used to.
Here's a video I recorded using the new screen-recording feature (~800KB, it
plays quite nicely in Iceweasel):

Note that as I drag the Nautilus window about, the window movement is silky-
smooth, while the cursor lags quite noticeably.

This behaviour has survived across several logins and reboots. I have tried
disabling all my gnome-shell extensions. The cursor works beautifully as I
expect it to on the GNOME 3.8 login screen, "GNOME Flashback" (whether the
Metacity compositing mode is enabled or not) and Enlightenment 17; the cursor
moves sluggishly as described under the "GNOME" and "GNOME Classic" sessions.

I filed this bug against gnome-settings-daemon because I discovered
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694758 which implies that gnome-
settings-daemon now does some magic cursor manipulation. However, I disabled
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor.active, logged out and logged back in,
and the laggy cursor still persists.

I'm not sure how relevant this information is, but I started with the linux
3.10 package in Testing, and have just now tried updating to the 3.11 package
from Unstable (no change). I'm using a Kensington Expert Mouse (despite the
name, it's a USB trackball), and the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver (again,
the latest in unstable). This is a desktop PC, so there's no trackpad or touch-
screen involved.

Is there any more information I could provide that would be helpful? Is there a
more appropriate place I should be asking for help?

Thanks in advance for your attention.
