Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I recently upgraded to 10.04 => 10.10 => 11.04, and I have a new problem
appearing on 11.04. My mouse cursor disappears after hovering over
certain types of items, like the drop-down menus on the gnome system
panel, tabs in Firefox, or other items that give tooltips. The cursor
reappears when I move the mouse, but it will disappear again if I hover
over the wrong items.

I've seen several other bugs with the same types of problems appearing
on 11.04, but they don't include their logfiles and necessary
information. Hopefully this report will be helpful.

I'm using an old Dell Dimension 2400, with Intel integrated graphics:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

This machine did not have the required hardware for Unity, so I'm using
'Ubuntu Classic.'
