Bug Description
When using compiz with a mouse theme other than the default, and the mouse size changed, only some areas of the screen show the correct mouse arrow, depending on what window the mouse cursor is over.
The easiest way to reproduce this is in a classic GNOME session, and as follows:
1. Go into appearance preferences, go to the theme page, and click on customize.
2. In the window that opens, go to the pointer page, and choose the DMZ Black theme.
3. Adjust the cursor size to the biggest possible setting.
4. Open gedit, and make sure only gedit is the only open window, so that you have gedit and the desktop behind it.
5. Move the mouse cursor over the window border between the desktop and the gedit window. Notice the grab handle is the correct image for the mouse theme, and in gedit where the cursor image is correct, but for the desktop, the cursor image is the default white small cursor.

you can also see this with using unity and the only way(by what i'v seen) around it right now is by going through what is shown at http:// www.webupd8. org/2010/ 08/how- to-change- mouse-cursor- theme-in. html
this can become very annoying at times so it would be good if a fix can be done so not to have to go through those steps
