Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
since upgrading from 3.8.5-2+b2 to 3.12.2-1, my mouse pointer was
invisible after login. I was able to fix this by calling
$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/cursor/active false
(there are a few web pages describing this, not sure if all have the
same root case).
I am using xmonad, if that makes a difference.
Greetings,
Joachim
