This problem will occur if running vivid with the overlay PPA [1]. We
can't SRU this change to vivid since this will break users not using the
PPA. There is an option to put a modified version of LightDM in the PPA,
but I'm not going to do that as that will create a maintenance issue.

If this is an issue I think the best workaround is probably to set the
command for unity-system-compositor in lightdm.conf:

[SeatDefaults]
unity-system-compositor-command=/usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor.wrapper

And then strip out the --enable-hardware cursor in this wrapper script.
