Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I booted the live environment from an USB stick, using the
ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso

When I start a program from the menu or the panel (like Firefox) the
mouse pointer changes shape to the spinning ball.

While in that shape it is hard to click smaller items on the screen as
there is no point of the cursor.

For example resizing existing windows is next to impossible, as a narrow
area most be hit, but the pointer is a big ball and the user does not
see where the hotspot is , also the ball covers are that the user is
trying to aim at.
