Maria Geller, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

So I tried metacity instead of xfwm4, with the same results. Eventually I decided to get the source for xfwm4 and insert trace puts() calls. What I found was that the launchers really were sending messages on dbus, and the apps really were sending completion messages. Furthermore, the code in xfwm4 to change the cursor, really was being called. So then I got the source code for metacity, kwin, awesome, openbox and had a look to see their method for changing the cursor. Basically they all basically use exactly the same mechanism i.e. cursor = XCreateFontCursor (display, XC_watch); XDefineCursor (display, DefaultRootWindow (display), cursor); In other words, the cursor for the root window is changed to XC_watch or equivalent, and this propagates down to all windows that don't set their own cursor. When the app sends the completion message, the cursor is changed back to XC_left_ptr. I wrote a small tester for this which is attached. Compile with "gcc -o xcursor xcursor.c -lX11 -Wall" On Lucid all this works nicely. On Precise it is broken. Tested with nvidia, vesa and virtualbox X drivers, so it looks like the problem is with the core X server.
