Bug#600927: gdm3: mouse cursor remains a 'clock'

[Miklos Quartus]

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6
Severity: minor

Hi

I experience the same problem after a clean install of Debian Squeeze
from "squeeze-di-beta2" i386 CD. Cursor remains a 'clock' in the login
screen even after login-logout. I have no metacity. Otherwise no impact
on overall behaviour of the system.

FYI, in /var/log/gdm3/:0-greeter.log gnome-session complains about not
being able to launch metacity as below:

"
gnome-session[1832]: WARNING: Could not launch application
'metacity.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child
process "metacity" (No such file or directory) .
"

My X.Org core version is 2:1.7.7-10 (xserver-xorg-core) and 1:7.5+8
(xserver-xorg). Kernel version is 2.6.32-5-686, libc6 version is
2.11.2-7 . Perl version is 5.10.1. My X Window Manager is xfce4, version 4.6.2 . 

At this moment I have no suggestion for a fix. 

Thank you for your help and support. 

Regards
