Just tested again and I can reproduce the problem in XFCE 4.10 in quantal as well. Login with unity-greeter, Settings/Mouse and Touchpad/Theme, change it to something like redglass size 48, every cursor changes but LEFT_PTR.
Logging in with GDM and the cursor changes correctly. Logging in with lightdm-gtk-greeter, LEFT_PTR not correctly set. Logging in with lightdm-gtk-greeter without setting the cursor on the root window, cursor changes correctly. Maybe this is an Ubuntu specific issue, although using the code from my second comment above to set the cursor on the root window in a default Fedora 17 Gnome session, and cursor theme changes and resizing stops working for the default LEFT_PTR, so I am skeptical. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024482 Title: Mouse cursor theme does not change from default after login Status in Light Display Manager: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: When using LightDM to login to a GNOME Shell session, the mouse cursor's appearance does not change from what it is in the lightdm login screen (black pointer from default X theme). Any custom mouse cursor theme actually does apply within any open application windows, but hovering the cursor over the window title bar, the root window, or the Shell interface changes it back to the default black pointer, leading to an inconsistent appearance.
