I have this problem: no mouse cursor after login, repeatable by logout
login again.

AFAIK I already had the metacity package as evidenced by CONFIG
EDITOR/APPS (metacity present)

WORK AROUND:

BLINDLY!!:...

1 Move the mouse around, clicking left, until the cursor is clearly on 
Accessories then choose Terminal
2 Click in the terminal window and hit return
3 The mouse cursor appears and seems to stay until logout login again

NOW that you can see the cursor, hit System/Preferences/Mouse and tick
LOCATE POINTER, so that you get some temporary flashing rings round
where the cursor is on the screen, just by pressing CTRL.

This will help you do 1-3 next time.

Sucks, but better than nothing!

I look forward to a proper solution!  I have had no such problems on
other machines, so I reckon it might be specific to Dell Optiplex 260's
Intel graphics hardware.  I believe GPUs include some HW specific to
showing the mouse pointer. Perhaps 10.04 is not treating this GPU
properly.
