With the live-CD (latest) I've tried many things (while messing with 
lightdm's auto-login) and never the cursor failed to appear.

I booted to runlevel 3 and set auto-login to zero.
When starting graphical.target (runlevel 5) auto-login failed. But after 
logging in at least once then auto-login starts to work (with zero 
time-out, I'm not 100% sure but I think, also based on tests in my 
installed system, with other time-outs it doesn't work).

But that may be a live-CD (coupled with slow hardware) issue as the 
greeter doesn't load completely at first. It loads without any user 
selected and I must select it first for it to load the 'bottom part' 
(session/language selectors and login button).

Regarding the language selector failing, I'm thinking of testing some 
other greeter (kde or razor-qt) to see if the issue is with lightdm or 
with the greeter. But I feel that that's a lightdm job, not the greeter's.
Could it be a permission thing (PAM)?
BTW, the bug report is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885161
