This needs to be actually set before the session starts, so adding

Xcursor*size: 48

to /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common

fixes it for me (48 here is the base size, 24, doubled).

Alternatively, this could be solved by exporting:

export XCURSOR_SIZE=48

somewhere in unity startup code.

Title:
  Mouse cursor tiny when hovering unity elements in high DPI mode

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a high DPI screen (220 DPI) the mouse cursor is really tiny when
  hovering unity elements. There are various keys in dconf to change the
  cursor's scale factor or size. I've managed to change it in a way that
  it looks normal when inside application windows, but its still tiny
  when on unity elements.

  I think this should be set automatically by the scale factor setting
  in system settings.

  
  (Using unity 7.3.1+14.10.20140811-0ubuntu1)
