Bug Description

HP mini 110 netbook, 2gb ram.

The daily live for feb 9 and 10 have shown this behaviour. Md5sum verified.

When running the liveusb the cursor disappears around when the panel loads and reappears something like 8 minutes later. The install/try window loads about a minute in to the desktop loading.

The install/try window can be navigated with the keyboard while the cursor is absent.

The boot process follows this approximate timeline:

* The desktop loads and the cursor is visible for a few seconds
* The cursor goes away and the panel gradually loads
* 40-50 seconds later, the try/install window appears
* Approximately 8 minutes later (yes, i timed this), the cursor will appear when the mousepad is touched. If the mousepad is not touched, the cursor will not appear on its own.
