I ran into the same problem in upgrading my A3000 to 3.1.  The problem is with
the .prefs files in your SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys directory.  They didn't get
updated when you upgraded to 3.1, and they are not compatible with 3.1.  You
need to delete them (after writing down the settings of course) and then use
the tools in your Prefs directory to recreate them.  The file that is causing
the particular problem with the mouse pointer is 'palette.prefs'.  My mouse
pointer cleared up just after deleting this file.
