Bug Description
I have attached a external monitor to my laptop. When I my the mouse from the primary display (my laptop screen) to the secondary display (external monitor), the mouse cursor image gets duplicated. On the primary screen it freezes its last location (so moving the mouse more quickly, makes sure that the mouse image is clearly visible) and on the secondary screen it keeps on performing as it should. When I move the mouse back to the primary screen, the duplicated mouse image disappears and everything works like normal again. When the duplication is 'active' the frozen mouse, still changes it's image (pointing finger, 'text thingy', resizing arrows, etc.) when my mouse on the secondary screen is hovering over elements that makes the image change. Since Ubuntu 12.10 I use the xserver-
