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. -- adamw
