Hi Simon, sorry for my late response, That issue seems like its gone already for a while, I did not notice when exactly. It has been some time and I've had some updates to some other packages. The missing mouse pointer however perhaps is not a bug in gnome-session. Its probably somewhere in gnome-settings-daemon, however I tried running it with --debug but did not notice any special log entries leading to this. If you can advise where and how to look for, I will definitely try to find the problem.
