In GNOME Flashback, we *do* use gnome-settings-daemon, just not all components of it do something useful for us. So non-Shell GNOME sessions should run gnome-flashback components (it is possible to enable/disable needed components via GSettings) *in addition to* gnome-settings-daemon. The code that makes mouse cursor appear is libidle-monitor [1]. That code is based on code in Mutter and is not needed when the window manager is Mutter (or something based on it).

Yes, it should no longer be an issue. -- Dmitry Shachnev
