I should note that regular Ubuntu 22.04 only has 'adwaita-icon-theme'
installed, not 'adwaita-icon-theme-full'. To figure out which login
screen it is that needs the latter, please:
1. Attach a photo of the login screen.
2. Run:
dpkg -l > packages.txt
and attach the resulting text file here.

Title:
[mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square (missing adwaita-
icon-theme-full)
Status in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Do not think this is hardware dependent, but I'm using an HPE
MicroServer Gen10 Plus.
I installed the server edition of 22.04. Post-Installation, I added
some desktop environments. After logging in, these are working fine.
However on the gdm login entry and password entry screens I had no
mouse pointer icon. A semi-opaque white square tracked the mouse
movements. My reading suggested that gdm defaults to using the cursor
icon theme provided by the adwaita-icon-theme package. I discovered
this theme comes in two sizes, a basic, smaller package installed
automatically and a larger "full" package.
$ apt list 'adwaita-icon-theme*'
Listing... Done
adwaita-icon-theme/jammy,now 41.0-1ubuntu1 all [installed,automatic]
adwaita-icon-theme-full/jammy,now 41.0-1ubuntu1 all [installed]
$
The gdm mouse pointer appears and disappears with installation and
removal of the package "adwaita-icon-theme-full". Either gdm's
dependencies should include the "full" package OR the appropriate
mouse pointer icons should be moved from the full to the basic
"adwaita-icon-theme" package.
