After our users use Inkscape for a short time, the mouse cursor turns to a
spinning ball.
* The cursor remains a spinning ball even outside inkscape and even after
inkscape is closed
* This hasn't happened after using any other program (gimp, office, gedit,
browsers, terminals, etc.)
* It happens without fail when we use Inkscape, but see "More info" below.
* If there is a pattern regarding when the cursor turns to the spinning
ball, I have yet to figure it out. That is, it seems to happen at any
time: while editing text, or adding a box, or adding a spiral, or moving
something, etc.
The weird thing is that when I take a screenshot, the cursor looks normal
in the screenshot. In order to make an image of the problem, I had to take
a photograph of the screen. See images at the link below; I added
descriptive comments.

More info:
* I'm using LTSP.
** It always happens on the clients, but not on the server that I've seen
yet
** Since it only happens with inkscape, I'm reporting to you before trying
the LTSP folks
* OS info: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
** inkscape is up to date
