Changing the size of the pointer has no effect. Changing the pointer has
no effect. Suggestion to remove the setting Pointer from Customize as it
is not working (currently).

  With neither compiz, nor metacity am I able to change the pointer from small white (default) on this theme (Ambiance).
  Since I have visual impairment problems, this is getting to be beyond annoying.  I do not choose to use other, high contrast themes because I find them annoying.

  Instead of trying to me-too smart phones, the alternate desktops
  should have been better debugged.  The default desktop with this
  release, which arrived unannounced, is totally unacceptable to me.
  Trash like that should be offered as an option, not as default.  You
  are doing your best to turn yourselves into Microsoft.  If this goes
  on, I will find a different distribution.
