I do now see on 14.04 but much rarer occurrence then in 13.10. So I'll just continue to disable the cursor plugin in g-s-d until this is fixed (if ever Can't say I've seen any downside to having the plugin disabled, other than the 'no visible cursor till mouse moved feature' which is of no importance here.

On a log out/in the cursor is almost always invisible until mouse is moved. (unless made visible in greeter screen, then visible on Desktop This is all well & good, maybe some intentional aesthetics/design (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687791) , however sometimes the cursor never becomes visible. In that case hitting some keys or context menu can cause it to show, though most times a log out is needed. (with the removal of ctrl+alt+delete > log out this means most users will need to either blindly find the session indicator or hit power button. When the g-s-d cursor plugin is disabled then the cursor is always visible, it the plugin has no use in an ubuntu session then maybe it should be default disabled There is also the possibility, particularly on ssd drives, of a login with no session indicator. This occasionally combines with no visible cursor.
