Title:
  Cursor becomes visible by itself when an external monitor is connected

Status in Mir:
  Fix Released
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  ------------------------------

  1 - Build and install the following branches on a laptop:
    lp:~dandrader/unity-api/mousePointer
    lp:~dandrader/qtmir/multimonitorNext
    lp:~dandrader/unity8/externalMonitor

  2 - In lightdm greeter, log into a unity8 session

  3 - connect an external monitor

  Expected outcome:
  -----------------------------

  You see only one cursor (the one unity8 draws)

  
  Actual outcome:
  -------------------------

  You see two cursors: the unity8 one and the mir one.

  Comments:
  ------------------

  In qtmir's mir::Server class, this is the snippet it uses to hide the
  mir cursor:

  """
  add_init_callback([this](){ the_cursor()->hide(); });
  """

  The mir cursor remains visible also after you unplug the external
  monitor.
