If it works for you, you probably had a different bug. This bug's effect
start since the login screen, and as far as I know gsettings only
affects the current login user.

In order to be sure, I configured my lightdm to auto-login. I intend to
check if gsettings can make the pointer show up, now that culprit (login
screen) is skipped. It resulted something very weird.

- Cursor would show up on the left side if I move it to the rightmost position. If I move leftward a bit, it would slip off from left edge of the screen. I could not click one of the unity tool bar icons because the cursor can go to at most left edge only, and not a little more right.
- Desktop wallpaper is not showing up. Desktop is black and blank (blank means no icons)
- Shortcut keys has no response. Super key doesn't call up HUD, and Ctrl+Shift+T doesn't call up terminal.

Effectively in this limbo status the user has nothing to do but to
restart computer again. I had to manually edit /etc/lightdm.conf to
prevent auto-login again.

Without autlogin, my host behaves exactly as previously described - "no
pointer but click works, restart lightdm helps". By the way the desktop
wall paper, HUD and desktop icons are all back.
