Cursor changed on me?

[Tom Horsley]

Did some library just change to pick up cursor themes in a
different setting somewhere?

I've changed cursor theme in dconf-editor to say "Bluecurve"
(which I have installed), yet an strace of fvwm startup
shows it is now picking pointers from "Adwaita".

It was using Bluecurve not too long ago, so some recent
update changed the behavior.

Found it!. The libXcursor update installed a new copy of
/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme

I had edited it to say Inherits=Bluecurve,
but the new rpm put it back to Adwaita.

I guess I need to add this to the stuff I automagically
re-edit in my after yum hook:

normally you set such things in your *DE* userspecific
and *generally* you are not supposed to touch files
in /usr/share because they are owned by packages and
not intented for edit them directly

Hi Tom,

You can put the configuration in your home directory:

$ cat .icons/default/index.theme
Inherits=dmz

So in that way it is safe and won't be overwrite with any update.

HTH,
