3.1 upgrade problem

I just upgraded my Amiga 2000 from OS 2.05 to OS 3.1 and encountered
the following problem:

The pointer comes up in a messy green/brown color; and the busy pointer
is a sickly yellow.  The Pointer tool "knows" the correct defaults;
it just doesn't use them automatically.  I partially kludged the problem
away by saving the defaults in a file and putting a line is my user-startup
file that calls the pointer preferences tool, but this isn't completely
satisfactory - if I change any other preferences then the pointer goes
back to "the mess" and I have to reset it manually.

Not a major problem, just an annoyance.  Obviously I have nothing better
to do than to be annoyed.

Anyhow ... has anyone else encountered this problem? 
For that matter is there available anywhere a list of known 3.1 upgrade
problems?

Thanks in advance for any information.
