I should also note that setting the cursor explicitly to the LEFT_PTR in
any gtk app will cause that app to show cursor updates properly when
hovered over (which is why I think Firefox still works when you hover
over it as mentioned in bug #86184 ):
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
int
main()
{
gtk_init(NULL, NULL);
GdkCursor *default_cursor = gdk_cursor_new(GDK_ARROW);
GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy", gtk_main_quit, NULL);
gtk_widget_realize(window);
gtk_widget_show(window);
gdk_window_set_cursor(gtk_widget_get_window(window), default_cursor);
g_object_unref(default_cursor);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
And we can force a cursor update by setting the LEFT_PTR on the root
window (but this will also break future cursor updates if you had logged
in with gdm or lightdm-gtk-greeter with the patch above):
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
gboolean idle_cb(gpointer user_data)
{
gtk_main_quit();
return FALSE;
}
int main()
{
gtk_init (NULL, NULL);
GdkCursor *cursor = gdk_cursor_new (GDK_LEFT_PTR);
gdk_window_set_cursor (gdk_get_default_root_window (), cursor);
g_object_unref (cursor);
g_idle_add (idle_cb, NULL);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}

Title:
Mouse cursor theme does not change from default after login
Status in Light Display Manager:

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When using LightDM to login to a GNOME Shell session, the mouse
cursor's appearance does not change from what it is in the lightdm
login screen (black pointer from default X theme). Any custom mouse
cursor theme actually does apply within any open application windows,
but hovering the cursor over the window title bar, the root window, or
the Shell interface changes it back to the default black pointer,
leading to an inconsistent appearance.
