Description Sven Herzberg 2005-06-07 17:13:18 UTC 
1. Run a GTK+ application
2. Be happy with your cursors
3. Browse http://www.gnomelook.org/ to find cooler ones
4. install them, change the cursor theme
5. run an application that hasn't been launched yet
6. see a nice mixture of the old and the new cursor theme
Comment 1 Sven Herzberg 2005-06-07 17:14:38 UTC 
I plan to integrate gcursor into the gnome cc, but as long as this bug is not
fixed this would result in a (from the users pov) unexpected (as technically
caused) behaviour.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2005-06-08 04:59:02 UTC 
cursor theming is implemented in libXcursor, no gdk code involved. There is
probably a bugzilla product in bugzilla.freedesktop.org for libXcursor.
Comment 3 Sven Herzberg 2005-07-04 23:27:24 UTC 
Just some information: this bug seems to be fixed with GTK+ 2.8. See bug 308104
and bug 308106 for more documentation about non-GTK+ components.
