Comment 1 Nirbheek Chauhan 2011-05-03 05:58:19 UTC

This occurs when gnome-tweak-tool is unable to find any cursors inside /usr/share/icons/cursors or ~/.icons/cursors. This is because (at least on Gentoo) all cursors are installed inside /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/.

$ ls -l /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/
total 0
