Bug Description

My mouse cursor disappears when I use for instance konsole or kaffeine.
Unfortunately, it does not reappear, I have to guess position of cursor but I can still click.

This is true only when I use nvidia driver, not with nv.
I was using compiz I removed -> no improvement.
I tried several version of nvidia drivers, legacy and proprietary, no improvement.

I was using feisty without any problems with following configuration :
2 x video cards nvidia 7600GS in SLI
After upgrade to gutsy, I had several problems I solved except this one.

I am still confused, is it a X or a driver problem (I did not see anything abnormal in xorg log) ?

Here is my xorg.conf :
