multiple mouse pointer crashes

[BronsonMathews]

Trying to setup multiple mouse pointers following the guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multi-pointer_X

Causes unity to crash and takes the user back to the login screen.

The commands seem to work but when the user moves the second mouse, it instantly crashes.
