Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
When changing cursors from the appearance preferences in Ubuntu 10.4 (this worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10 on the same system, so this is only a problem in Lucid Lynx) the cursor is not completely switched. This happens both when changing to custom cursors and when changing to built- in cursors such as DMZ-Black. What happens is that the correct cursor is used sometimes (I found that the text selection I-beam cursor was always used correctly, and the correct cursors display when overtop of certain programs such as firefox, but in most cases the default DMZ-White cursors are shown instead of the ones it should be showing. I managed to "fix" this problem by changing the symbolic link in /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme from /usr/share/icons/DMZ- White/cursor.theme to point to the cursor.theme file of the cursor set I want it to show (creating it if it does not exist). This solution, however, would affect all users and this must be done every time the cursor is changed.
