Description Jon Dufresne 2006-04-17 01:12:55 UTC
Please describe the problem:
If I want to change my mouse cursors I currently go to preferences->mouse and in
that window is a part called "Pointer Theme". If gnome is going to recognize
that this is in fact a theme, then shouldn't it be in the Theme Preferences
dialog with the other themes?

This is like if the window border theme was in preferences->Windows instead of
the theme preferences application.

I believe that the system wide themes should be grouped together in one app,
this includes the mouse cursor themes. If a user wants to change the mouse
separately then he should click "theme details" like he already does for window
borders.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click preferences->mouse
2. Click pointer tab
3. Notice there is the option to adjust the mouse theme
4. Now go to preferences->theme
5. Notice there is no option to adjust the mouse theme, when this is infact
where themes are adjusted.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Was going to file the same bug. It's mouse pointer _themes_ and _themes_ are managed by the gnome-_theme_-manager.
