I was wondering why the cursor theme disapeared on my box recently
I tried manualy edit the /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme
gconf key but it ended with a half working cursor (mix between the theme
and the default).

restoring the file & relogging doesn't give me my cursors back..

working..
