Description of problem: attempted a cauldron network install - no mouse pointer at installer screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): boot-nonfree.iso 2016-01-11 07:32 50M mdkinst.sqfs 2016-01-13 07:21 72M At the network installer first screen (language selection) there was no visible X mouse pointer. However - the pointer exists, but is invisible - if you succeed to click on some button by trial/error - the cursor appears and you can use it afterwards.

Dup of bug#17470 ?

Yes, indeed - though that doesn't mention 'network installer', though I guess it boils down to the same installer...

Not sure it's actually a duplicate as bug 17470 seemed to be about non-working (touchpad) pointer, while this one is about working but invisible mouse pointer. Hence the former seemed to be a kernel issue (apparently with a fix already) while the latter might be a gtk theme regression or similar. But we can also continue working on the general symptom in the other bug IMO, there is no big risk to add confusion even if the two issues were different; both end up in non-usable mouse pointer in current stage2 and need to be fixed soon :)
