Sebastien,

After looking at the code involved as well as information on how to set up
the Xserver  for the cursor size/name  I found the following workaround:

Add the following to the "/etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common" file:

Xcursor.size: 24
Xcursor.theme: Ultimate-White24

Of course this is what the newly added code is supposed to be doing so
I am just manually informing the Xserver of the same information.

Thanks,
Brett

Title:
  Unity Desktop does not respect cursor theme after update

Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After update on 20151015 at 9:54 EST Unity desktop no longer respects
  cursor theme.

  Ubuntu release is Wily (e.g. 15.10) beta.

  Update contained the following packages:

  Oct 15 09:54 hud_14.10+15.10.20151012-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  Oct 15 09:54 libhud2_14.10+15.10.20151012-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  Oct 15 09:54 libunity-settings-daemon1_15.04.1+15.10.20151012-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  Oct 15 09:54 unity-settings-daemon_15.04.1+15.10.20151012-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

  Instead of the correct cursor theme "Ultimate-white24" the default white cursor theme is
  displayed on the desktop and most GTK3 applications.

  Some applications such as Firefox still show the correct "Ultimate-white24" cursor as long
  as the cursor stays in the application but changes to the default white cursor if the cursor
  moves to the window decoration or desktop.

  Unity Tweak and dconf-editor show that the cursor theme is set to "Ultimate-white24" and
  the alternatives (e.g. update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme) also show the cursor
  theme to be "Ultimate-white24".

  At the Unity Greeter (e.g. Lightdm) the cursor theme is correct but it changes to the default
  white cursor as soon as the login is started.

  Let me know if I can provide any more information, screenshots etc.

  Thanks
