Cursor issue [NOW it's Solved Yaaaay!!]

I'm not sure what the issue is, but I first noticed it when running it from the Live DVD. I figured it might just be a Live issue. Well, I was wrong.
So I installed Ultimate Edition 2.6 and no matter what I do, the cursor continues to be a HUGE black arrow with white trim. The themes NEVER change it, no matter what I do. I even restart my pc and it still never changes.
My graphics card is an onboard Intel. Mobo is an ASRock G31M-S. So just a stock graphics card.
I have never had this issue when running Ultimate Edition before nor on any distro. I even tried my LiveCD of Lucid, just to see if it's a Lucid issue, but it ran fine.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanx!

Same/similar problem here, have installed an AlienwareInvader cursor and it does show up when using Firefox but never elsewhere...

This is a Known issue, it has to do with compiz, if you switch to metacity cursor will change as usual! this is a Ubuntu "Bug" Not Ultimate Edition ! we are looking into a fix for this ! This happens in all flavors of Ubuntu also !
Sorry to edit you post. Here is the
launchpad bug filed against this importance low.... Upsets me too. Been an issue since Karmic.

hrmm
I have both versions dloaded, the 64 bit is going on a spare drive in my desktop, the 32 bit is going on my Ultimate Edition partition on my laptop... I am waiting until tomorrow or so to install so I can see the issues that develop. Franly I have had nothing but success with Ultimate Edition on my lapy, and I have LL on it now so I dont think there will be a probelm.

Thank you for the heads-up. This distro is too BADAZZ looking to have to drop compiz because of an ugly cursor.

I have figured a "workaround" for the "Compiz Cursor" issue...
Open Nautilus browse to your home folder right click and create a new folder named .icons yes with a period first. If it complains there is already a folder no problem continue on.
- Select show hidden files...
- goto the .icons folder open it and create a folder called default.
index.theme.tar.gz- Download this file and extract it in that folder.
- (245 Bytes) Downloaded 1640 times
- When correct should look like this.
log out and log in enjoy your gold cursor.
