Public bug reported:

In unity and KDE I can't see my mouse pointer. I have read another bug
and I have published some info there, but I think this is a new bug. I
think is a compiz problem, because if I use metacity I don't have this
problem with the desktop (only when I open steam and some other apps).

In UNITY it seems that compiz is drawing over the mouse, because I can
see the pointer when I move it inside the terminal or in firefox but I
can't see it when I try to interact with unity (click on icons or top
right corner stuff).  The thing is that if I run "sudo unity-tweak-tool
--reset-unity", cursor reappear and I can use it normally, until I
reboot. I have to run the comand with sudo, otherwise it doesn't work.
The command give some errors I have posted in bug 1238410. I have tried
switching off gnome's mouse plugin, but it doesn't work.

In KDE I can't see the cursor anyway.

I can't think where the problem may be. Perhaps I should run a "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure compiz" or something like that?
