Lubuntu screen locker eats my mouse pointer

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

just installed fresh 16.04 Lubuntu.

When the screen is locked by the screen locker and a password is entered to open the session again, the mouse pointer becomes invisible. It still works, but since you can't see it it is useless and the machine needs reboot.

Maybe not caused by the screen locker itself.

I have another screen related problem, #1574675, and have thrown out Network Manager and ubuntu-fan for easier debugging, and now I could login again without loss of the mouse pointer.

Must be something happening at reopening the session.

No.

Mouse pointer reappeared because instead of a screenlock it performs a complete logout now and terminates (and freshly restarts) the session.

Needs more debugging.
