Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I booted the alph3 meerkat desktop livecd and got a gnome desktop; I
then downloaded fbi, switched to the console, and made sure fbi worked
in the console to view images (it did).  When I switched back to the
gnome desktop, I no longer had a mouse cursor.  In the past when
something like this has happened, it usually worked to logout and start
a new X session.  I tried that, but didn't get back my mouse cursor.
Moreover, the new session was on console 8 instead of console 7 (where
the original one was).  Subsequent logouts and re-login got console 9
and 10!!

I filed this under xorg, but it may be that there is a console-switching
problem.

The remnants of the old xorg consoles show the purple background, it
that's a clue.
