I have observed the same issue after upgrading from Xubuntu 15.10 to Xubuntu 16.04. Just as fabiomarconi described the cursor reappeared after clicking the logout-button. I use real hardware, no virtualization.

Reproduce: – Install Ubuntu Wily Werewolf desktop from the official Live CD. – Upgrade to Xenial Xerus with „do-release-upgrade -d”. Only had a chance to test it on KVM virtual machine, but it happened every time I upgraded a virtual machine to Xenial. Also, only tested via Wily -> Xenial upgrade, haven't tried Trusty -> Xenial. Nature Xenial install from the Xenial Live CD daily build right away doesn't have this issue, so I assume something goes wrong during the upgrade process.
