Bug Description
-- updated info
I re-booted daily x86 daily on same machine, was able to re-create, but it came good on its own (~15+ seconds after screen appeared)
It only occurs sometimes; more testing & it can occur with `sudo systemctl suspend` but if you wait cursor will re-appear usually so my conclusion it was [fixed] via whisker-menu may be invalid; maybe I'm impatient, or nvidia/nouveau on this card requires time for system to display mouse???
I do think something is wrong, but it's extremely minor, and inconsistent! (would be a pain I suspect to find)

xubuntu 18.10 daily ISO x86
QA test - 2018-10-10 00:26 (current timestamp on QA tracker) of daily ISO
on suspend everything is normal, on wake I've lost my mouse-pointer.
I can see icons (drives, panel widgets) react & thus can detect where cursor is if over something, but no mouse-pointer is visible at all.
To get mouse back, I select menu (top left), then move mouse over menu and pointer re-appears.
Selecting anything else does not bring mouse back, also selecting menu but moving mouse up (not on menu but off screen) allows me to de-select menu without pointer being re-drawn. It returns only if I move mouse over the [main] menu when selected.
I've suspended 4 times this 'live-test', same loss-of-pointer each time, each time restored via selection of menu top left (third time I didn't have it return as I coughed causing mouse to never thus cross menu & select something right causing menu to close without return of mouse-pointer; got same reaction on 4th sleep/wake)..

I looked for duplicates - lots for intel graphics, not nvidia
Sorry if duplicate; also I know it's a wrong package assigned (unsure to assign to)

I've re-ran this test on another system (different video card) & no issue.
re-tested (daily-iso) trying to cause bug on same machine -- yes re-created briefly, but within 30 seconds mouse-pointer appeared (before I worked out where mouse-pointer was)

re-run of test but focusing only on suspending & mouse-pointer post-wake...
using `sudo systemctl suspend`, waiting briefly & then wake - mouse-pointer was okay
repeated twice more `sudo systemctl suspend`, wait & wake - mouse pointer okay.
put to sleep with menu (like prior test; mouse over terminal), waited then awoke - mouse pointer okay.
put to sleep with menu (again, mouse over nothing but wallpaper), waited then awoke - NO MOUSE POINTER
-- yet this time it came good on its on, before I worked out where pointer was & before I could get to menu...
yes I could re-create bug briefly; but then okay..
