Wobbly windows and that rotating cube they're so proud of never did 
anything for me. I never noticed the mouse pointer until you mentioned it. 
I had to open Kamoso to even see it. Kamoso apparently is some sort of 
camera app and is a little sluggish opening, perhaps while it looks for 
the nonexistent camera. Even LibreOffice opens too fast to show a bouncing 
mouse pointer. 

I presume there is a lot of crap I could turn on in Plasma 6 but I do very 
little configuration of anything.
