Bug Description
I recently installed XUbuntu 16.04 on my Latitude E7450 laptop.
The mouse cursor disappears when I lock then unlock the session. The mouse is still functional but the cursor is not displayed.
This bug is similar to #492782 but I do not think it is a duplicate as there no need to suspend to RAM or disk for it to express.
However the symptoms and workarounds are similar : switching to a virtual console then back restores the cursor ; so does running gedit and typing text in it.
Note the the symptoms only start after the session has been unlocked : the mouse cursor is visible on the login screen. It does not seem to be managed by the same process there however (sign of this : I set the cursor to a bigger size in my session but this does not take effect in the login screen).
