The mouse pointer/cursor still disappears sometimes after boot. I have
to reboot to get it back. Xubuntu won't remember my choice for the
default mouse. I tried oxy-white and other oxygen pointers to no avail
(they only work for the current session, after you reboot you get DMZ-
White again or the invisible mouse!). I tried selecting DMZ-White/Black
to no avail. If I choose oxy-white as my default cursor it should just
be there and work. Ditto. I then proceeded to examine
usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (you don't have folder context menu
to open as admin like Linux Mint so "sudo mousepad /usr..., etc) and
found out that it gives 6 Theme parsing errors for that file:
"gtk.css:27:35: junk at the end of file" and 5 more where just the
numbers change (the next is 40:48: etc...). I edited that file from
"[Icon Theme] Inherits=DMZ-White" to [Icon Theme] Inherits=oxy-white and
now I'm gonna see what happens. This has automatically changed the
symlink at /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme to reflect the new oxy-white
choice as default (it's now also [Icon Theme] Inherits=oxy-white) Those
parsing errors shouldn't be there. Remember that my Xubuntu version is
15.10 wily i386 (32 bit). I have a screenshot of these steps, which
includes all 6 Theme parsing errors  but I'm trying to take a screenshot
of the invisible mouse, which I think will be more useful because it
will prove that the bug indeed happens. I changed the target to xubuntu
daily builds to see if the bug is caught and solved before 16.04. I also
decided that x-cursor-theme should be the package, although it seems
more like a configuration problem. Thanks.

** Package changed: ubuntu => xubuntu-xfce-daily-builds
