  After upgrading from Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04, the DMZ-White mouse pointer
  works correctly when the pointer is over a window, but shows a pale grey
  square when over the desktop or Ubuntu top bar. This appears to happen
  because the /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors/default file (or symlink)
  is missing. Doing the following appears to fix the problem:
  
  1. cd /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors
  2. ln -s left_ptr default
  3. In gnome-tweaks change to some other mouse pointer.
  4. In gnome-tweaks change back to DMZ-White.
