Bug Description
In unity and KDE I can't see my mouse pointer. I have read another bug and I have published some info there, but I think this is a new bug. I think is a compiz problem, because if I use metacity I don't have this problem with the desktop (only when I open steam and some other apps).
In UNITY it seems that compiz is drawing over the mouse, because I can see the pointer when I move it inside the terminal or in firefox but I can't see it when I try to interact with unity (click on icons or top right corner stuff). The thing is that if I run "sudo unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity", cursor reappear and I can use it normally, until I reboot. I have to run the comand with sudo, otherwise it doesn't work. The command give some errors I have posted in bug 1238410. I have tried switching off gnome's mouse plugin, but it doesn't work.
In KDE I can't see the cursor anyway.
I can't think where the problem may be. Perhaps I should run a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure compiz" or something like that?
