Description Valdis Kletnieks 2013-09-06 04:31:26 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrading gnome-settings-daemon to latest Rawhide version, the mouse cursor becomes invisible.  The mouse pointing device *is* functional, as you can see its effects as you enter/leave windows and widgets and focus highlights take effect.  Mouse buttons work (and provide another proof that the pointer moves - pop-up menus open where they should if the mouse was visible).

Problem manifests on both the gdm gnome-shell login screen and a non-Gnome window manager once logged in (e16, but with gnome-settings-daemon running)

Backing off to gnome-settings-daemon-3.9.90-2.fc21.x86_64 solves the problem.

Possibly related to this mutter change:

http://anzwix.com/a/Mutter/MetaCursorTrackerAddMethodsForSettingTheCursorVi

which seems to be cursor-visbility related. Is this because gnome-settings-daemon got updated but mutter did not?  If so, why did it also affect my non-Gnome user environment?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-settings-daemon-3.9.91.1-1.fc20.x86_64
