Thought I would just let anyone who may need help with this know. I had issues with changing the pointer when compiz was active in ubuntu 10.10. I tried some other suggestions but it would not change when on the desktop, only when hovering over a window.
I solved this issue by doing the following:
Hit alt f2 and enter-> gconf-editor
Then goto-> /->apps->compiz->general->allscreens->options
Then in "cursor_themes" type in the name of the pointer theme
(Eg. DMZ-White)
This should resolve the issue with compiz.
There is allot of help on how to change your pointer. I am not going to go over that here. Just hope this helps someone out with this specific issue.
Oh yea don't forget to logout/login or press ALT F2 and enter compiz - -replace to refresh the pointer... ):P
