Bug#619789: gdm3: Mouse cursor is invisible but mouse still functions

[acrocycle]

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6squeeze1
Severity: important

After recently updating Debian Squeeze, the mouse cursor is invisible. The
mouse still functions normally but the cursor is not seen at any time. If the
system is suspended the mouse cursor is visible upon waking the system.
