[Sugar-devel] Mouse pointer changes into sugar style pointer in ubuntu

The cause was easy to find:

	gsettings list-recursively | grep cursor
	...
	org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'sugar'

change was made by sugar:src/jarabe/main.py _start_window_manager

Please propose a patch so that after switching out of Sugar these
settings are restored?
