I've sent this to Xpert yesterday, didn't seem to get through, I'll
try Devel today.
I've found that in order to use core cursors, I need to set
XCURSOR_CORE in *both* Xdm's environment and the window manager's
environment. If the windows manager uses themed cursors, setting
XCURSOR_CORE in a client's environment appears to have no effect -- is
there some sort of weird inheritance going on? (XCURSOR_THEME works fine.)
It is my understanding that setting XCURSOR_CORE disables RGBA cursors
altogether. What I'd like to have is the ability to disable core
cursor theming while retaining the ability to use RGBA cursors in
clients that explicitly request them using the Xcursor library.
Unless I've missed something, there's no such ability currently. It
think that setting XCURSOR_THEME=none would be a reasonable syntax for
that.
Finally, I think that we need an Xcursor theme, call it ``classic'',
that consists of the traditional core cursors albeit with a slight
shadow. I'll try to conjure a utility to build that, but will
probably not have the time before 4.3, and I'd love to see someone
beat me to it.
