OK. Thanks for checking it out. Also, it looks like I mis-spoke (mis-typed?) earlier when I asked about 17.3. Are you running Mint 17.3 or just 17.2 with Cinnamon 2.8?
EDIT: Kovid's bug report on the issue over in the QT area also mentioned that screenshots show the correct mouse pointer even though that's not what shows up to us mere mortals.
