As topic :). As of today, choose_cursor just doesn't seem to work. When certain packages are updated (not sure which, guess it might be XFree), root's cursor reverts to core (from my normal choice, Silver), and my fix for this is usually just to su to root then run choose_cursor and set it back to Silver. Doing this today just didn't work at all, so as a test I ran it as my normal user, and it switched the cursor back to core. I remembered how to set it manually, and noticed that the relevant files - ~/.icons/default/index.theme and /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme - now read:
[Icon Theme] Inherits= I set them to: [Icon Theme] Inherits=Silver and got my cursors back. So it seems choose_cursor is making the wrong modification to the file for some reason. -- adamw
