Title:
  Mouse Cursor Invisible

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My first experience was while using kernel 3.9.21 which I upgraded to today.
  I read about "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false", but it didn't bring it back (I did not reboot).
  Then I also read about CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and it came back.

  Then I built my own kernel 4.0, rebooted and straight away the mouse cursor was nowhere to be seen (don't remember if it was visible during login).
  Right away I tried CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and that did nothing. Luckily items will highlight when hovered over, so I got my browser up and also brought up the terminal to try gsettings again, but to no avail.
  That's when I tried ubuntu-bug report and at the very last stage when I'm about to press "Send", the cursor shows up.

  I went ahead and sent the report anyway in hopes that the capturing
  part of the report would show the visibility issue.
