I discovered why one of the users was unaffacted upon login:
She had no ~/.config/monitors.xml file (where gnome-display-properties saves
it settings).
Once she manually used gnome-display-properties, the cursor started
disappeared,
and on her next login it was invisible.
After removing ~/.config/monitors.xml, her new logins have a cursor.

So a workaround to this bug is to never use gnome-display-properties, only
xrandr.
And rm ~/.config/monitors.xml if you have used it before.

I'm not sure if this bug should be marked as affecting
gnome-display-properties -
whatever resolution it requests, the video driver should still be
responsible for showing a cursor.
