Hi,
was digging a bit into this because we've put oneka as a rare easter egg event into our distro (
c.f. https://github.com/fsfw-dresden/usb-live-linux/tree/main/features/config_desktop_cats ) and
the cursor was not restored properly. Turns out the 132 in cursor 132 (aka
"top_left_arrow") suggested by the oneko man page to be the default root cursor is not
what works on modern DEs. There, we want 68 ("left_ptr") .. as in the xsetroot command
Charles has given 9 years ago.
See https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/appendix/b/ for a complete visual list of X
cursors...
The two attached patches should help, one documents the number 68 to be a more
adequate choice for modern DEs, the other expands on Ricardo's 2013 patch and
makes oneko restore left_ptr (68) by default.
Best Regards
Marcel
