Comment 1 for bug 741474

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
