Wasn't the sense of the original post. The sense of the original post
was that it was providing a "temporary workaround" to restore whiteglass
/ redglass cursors, which implies that Mandrake's decision to revert to
default cursors was actually a bug, and that the author expected the
next X version to go back to whiteglass or redglass cursor. This isn't
the case, which is what I was pointing out. I agree the current cursor
configuration situation isn't great.
