invisible pointer on boot

[themusicgod1]

Upon login to xfce, there is a pointer (as evidenced by right clicking with the touch pad) but it is invisible. Plugging a mouse in makes the pointer visible again.

xfce: 4.12.1
ubuntu: wily werewolf

Plugging mouse in does not always work but lightdm *does* see the pointer on boot, just once you finish logging in does it disappear.

ubuntu-studio session does not seem to be affected

[themusicgod1 (themusicgod1)]

disregard #2: lightdm *does* seem to be affected.

logging out and logging in makes the pointer appear visible

[themusicgod1 (themusicgod1)]

this does not happen in gnome.

(This didn't happen in yakkety at all)

themusicgod1, does this mean that the bug was fixed in 16.10?

[themusicgod1 (themusicgod1)]

seems like it

Alright. I noticed that the bug description mentions Ubuntu-GNOME, so this is most likely a duplicate of bug 1390628.
