I've been following this bug since Lucid, which was when I noticed this behaviour. Not sure if this helps, but this is how I worked-around the same behaviour under Compiz on Arch (see the last comment):
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18923 Basically I was getting the ugly black X pointer when performing certain actions like dragging a Firefox tab, however it seems the mouse theme has more to do with it than any code fix (even though Compiz still might be at fault). To be totally honest, I set my themes / pointers etc up to emulate Jaunty and it worked. I'm not saying that it's not a stupid Compiz bug, but this is how you can work around it if you're ok with some of your pointers being from a base cursor theme that is better looking than the black X theme. -- Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
