Public bug reported:
On fresh boots the greeter & desktop may have the cursor visible or may not
until mouse is moved.
On a log out/in the cursor is almost always invisible until mouse is moved.
This is all well & good, maybe some intentional aesthetics/design , 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.
