It's actually a bug in the software cursor provided by the radeon
driver.
Although I'm linking the XMir project too, because ideally XMir should
not be asking for the software cursor in future. See also bug 1216468
and bug 1211060 which are caused by the X software cursor.

[radeon] Buggy cursor in some applications

Bug description:
Hi,
I am currently using unity-system-compositor in Ubuntu 13.10 32bits
with open-source graphics. It works mostly fine, but I have a strange
issue with my cursor in some situations. For example, if I want to
drag and drop some text in LibreOffice Writer, I get a weird square
around my cursor, as if it struggled to produce a transparency effect.
It also happened on some other occasions, sometimes with the "loading"
spinning circle. However, drag and drop in Firefox works normally.
Thanks for your time.
