Description Ed Catmur 2005-08-23 13:49:42 UTC 
On my system (xorg-x11 6.8.2, Gentoo 2005.1) cursor themes are installed to
/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/; this includes the Xorg default cursors.

Since the mouse capplet does not look in /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/ it only
displays the Bluecurve cursors (as these have a symlink from within
/usr/share/icons/).

The cursors capplet should add "/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/" to the list of
paths it looks in for cursors (capplets/mouse/gnome-mouse-properties.c line
651). Alternatively extra paths should be made configurable at compile time.

your distribution hack the standards path, they should probably patch the
packages they broke too.
Comment 2 Ed Catmur 2005-08-23 16:30:45 UTC 
Apologies. Downstreamed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103475 (whose
bright idea was it to hack the path?)
