Yes, the Sugar cursor affects the GNOME desktop environment. This is caused by https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/src/jarabe/main.py#L205 where the GNOME desktop cursor theme is changed to the Sugar theme.
Workaround is to use gsettings to change cursor-theme in org.gnome.desktop.interface back to what it was. Yes, you can use dconf to reset all settings, but that has many side-effects. If this problem bothers anyone who wants to fix it, the fix I'm interested in seeing is; * read the value of cursor-theme before changing it in the _start_window_manager function, * keep the Gio.Settings instance instead of deleting at end of the _start_window_manager function, * restore the old value in the _stop_window_manager function. This should fix the problem for future users.
