pointers work like this: all windows in x inherit the pointer from their parent window. e sets a pointer on the root window. thus apps will inherit this pointer unless they override it themselves and set a new pointer on their own window(s). nothing the wm can do about this. so apps that don't override will just inherit whatever e sets. otherwise they are on their own and set their own pointers. > > if you use something else then "you're mileage may vary" > I guess that is understandable, but would it be possible to have some > hints/idea/helps on how to define this for a consistent env?
