Comment 5 for bug 459647

It cleared to some extent after a reboot. I remember previously (last year) installing a silver cursor as the default cursor and I didn't have this problem - so maybe it's just a matter of communication. Very amateur - really, it should be a matter of changing the basic default system cursor in a single location - how is it possible for compiz to confuse the issue? The setting for cursor in Compiz has now been removed from view (though clearly it still exists).

Perhaps the onslaught of a new generation of gnome will see the exit of compiz, and hopefully the inclusion of the main features (magic lamp, scale, wobblys etc).

It's annoying, because wobbly windows feels natural and I really feel uncomfortable on other systems without it now!
