Bug Description
If I set gnome-shell as default desktop manager in gconf then gnome-shell elements hide the pointer as if the pointer was in a lower layer.
It is likes the mouse goes under top panel for instance, and when I launch the full screen overlay, no pointer is visible at all.
Even though the pointer is invisible, mouse actions work as usual, including hoover events and mouse clicks.
The mouse pointer works as expected if I launch regular gnome + metacity and then run 'gnome-shell --replace'.
Having `gonem-shell --replace` in the gnome-session apps, also hides the cursor, although sometimes it works (some race going on?).

hello i think also that this is a race condition. I start it with
bash -c "sleep 4; gnome-shell --replace"
in gnome-session app
this works. If i use less sleep than the pointer disappears.
There is a gnome-shell project but i don't know how to change the affecting package.
