Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-4
Severity: minor
Hello,
when running gdm3 without metacity (either because it's not installed or
by diverting /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/metacity.desktop away)
the mouse cursor remains a 'clock' (i.e. signals "busy") all the time.
This has no effect on usability, it's just irritating.
Thanks for your work & regards
Mario
