Sometimes default mouse cursors are shown

[Éric Tremblay]

This is a very minor bug, but still slightly annoying.

When logging out and back in, in some places the default/system mouse cursors are shown instead of the ones selected under settings -> mouse.

To reproduce:
1. Log into a XFCE session.
2. Log out.
3. Log in again.

The cursor theme is reset to X defaults in many places, at least when the mouse hovers on the window border.

I have tested the "log in" part in my description with gdm and startx (.xinitrc: exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4). In both cases the bug can be reproduced.

I can confirm this bug when using mdm for login (Linux Mint 13).

The cursor theme seems to be the default when hovering over the desktop at least. When hovering over some applications (Opera for instance) the right theme is still shown.

The bug seems to occur not after every login. When switching my theme again it is somethign like 50:50 that it is remembered after reboot.

The bug occured after some update in the last weeks (xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10 PPA active). There was no problem with cursor themes before (running this system since July).
