Sebastien, I installed the Ultimate-White24 cursor theme into the /usr/share/icons/ directory.
I then used "sudo update-alternatives --install" command to add the cursor theme into the alternatives. I then used "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" to update the cursor theme to be the system wide cursor. Lastly I used Unity-Tweak-Tool to select the "Ultimate-White24" cursor for the Unity desktop. The cursor theme was working fine until the above mentioned updates were installed and the problem appeared. I agree that the update to unity-settings-daemon is the most likely suspect. I only updated my "daily driver" machine with the updates and kept my "build server" back from being updated until last night. The build server was correctly displaying the cursor theme in all cases until I updated it last night and now it shows the problem as well.
