Bug Description
every once in awhile in the unity launcher (usually when i leave from my computer for awhile and come back) i mistaken the file manager icon's pointer as the mouse's pointer.This temporarily confuses me and i believe people can infer that its the file manager without the pointer. I recommend changing the file manager icon to that of the home icon or editing the existing one ... just saying :P

I agree that the existence of a pointer icon as a part of the file manager icon is needlessly distracting, and I can envisage a situation where the pointer has moved off the screen, or is otherwise obscured and the user can mistake the icon atop the file manager icon for the actual pointer. I propose the adoption of one of the following solutions:
- The removal of the pointer icon from the file manager icon.
- The replacement of the current file manager icon with home folder icon as has been proposed in the bug description.
