I have reproduced the same on Ubuntu 13.10 (KDE), Linuxmint 16 (KDE), and now also Linuxmint 16 (Cinnamon).
I will attach screenshot (using camera, where you can see the actual phenomenon), Screen capture DOES NOT capture the error, I will attach that to next comment. Maybe that helps to isolate it. The error has always been on primary screen of a dual screen setup. Screen for extended desktop does not have this. Even a moderate googling shows that multiple persons are suffering from this. Usual suspects are xorg and/or fglrx/Catalyst drivers. It takes a while for the mouse pointer corruption to manifest after a boot, and when it does, it comes when moving the mouse cursor from secondary screen to primary. Reboot resolves the issue.

Usually looks like the cursor is sliced vertically in about 3-5 slices and put back together in the wrong order. Moving the cursor between screens causes it to change from being fine on one screen to corrupt on the other. Affects not just the arrow, but others as well, such as move, resize and text select. Using the default cursor theme, never changed it. Rebooting fixes it. Sometimes, very rarely (maybe 2 times over the past several years) it will fix on it's own. But those self fixes have only happened if I move the cursor between screens quickly just after it happens, if it's left to be corrupt for a moment or more... it will stay that way until a reboot. Hard to say what causes it or when it happens. Maybe it's more likely to happen when moving a window between screens. --- ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: kwin DistUpgraded: 2013-10-05 23:33:35,358 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: saucy DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx-updates, 13.101, 3.11.0-14-generic, x86_64: installed fglrx-updates, 13.101, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 4.2.16, 3.11.0-14-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 4.2.16, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: I just need to know a workaround GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
