Public bug reported: System is stable Dell workstation with Ubuntu 12.04. It was updated a couple of day ago. After the recent update, sometimes the mouse cursor is not visible after returning from the screensaver. The only way it is useful with the invisible cursor is having the "ctrl" key make the cursor visible.
The problem is not fixed by killing the X server and logging in again. The problem is only fixed by shutting down and rebooting.
