I tried 2 left handed mouse pointer themes in X/Ubuntu 11.10.
> in 10.10 they worked sometimes

I tried to use "Yellow Dot - Left Handed" (05/16/2007) and "Obsidian (left handed version)
 1.0.1" (03/11/2010). Only in 10.04 the left handed pointers worked normal.

It seems the same "sometimes" in 11.10 … result for Unity and Xfce4:
1. Intel GMA
The desktop shows only the "normal" mouse pointer. If I start an application like Firefox, the pointer switched "inside" to the left handed theme. 
The pointer lay-out changes to "right handed" if I reach the titelbar of the application or move my mouse pointer over the desktop.
btw: I used a fully upgraded 11.10 X/Ubuntu system.
2. Nvidia
In a live session with Ubuntu 11.10 is was'nt possible te switch to an left handed mouse. I saw "right handed response" after my change to a "left handed" mouse in Unity. 


In 10.04 "Yellow Dot - Left Handed" works fine (with a GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS and and also with an Intel GMA X4500). I did "make install" as user → switched to the yellowdot-theme → log-out/log-in. 
So I was able to use my left handed pointers.
