I confirm that workaround from post #3 fixed the problem for me (ubuntu 15.04)

I connect it to a Windows 7 synergy server. After a reboot, there is no mouse pointer displayed when I move the mouse in the appropriate direction from the synergy server. I can see buttons display their mouse-over animation, launcher icons display their tooltips, and I can click all widgets (although clicking the intended one is difficult). Without logging off, I connected a mouse. The pointer was displayed. I disconnected the mouse, and the pointer remained, even responding correctly to the synergy mouse events. I saw the expected behaviour before upgrading to saucy.
