Thanks to all that tried to help. I went today to the lab and the solution was this: run
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr So I will try to add this info to the wiki somehow. It seems that lightdm the default login manager expects the desktop to set the root cursor in LTSP5. Same thing happens with mwm. It gets the watch cursor (the busy cursor) and the above command fixes that as well. However this is not the case with lightdm on the console. It is the first time I can test CDE on LTSP5 with Ubuntu 14.04LTS and I will probably come up with more problems. I have one in my next message (so I can modify the title for a new thread).
