I'm still getting this error on a fresh install of Maverick. Previously (with Lucid) I could use the mentioned work-arounds (with ~/.icon/default/index.theme, etc) to get proper cursors but that wasn't even working in 10.10.
Now it will change it for some windows (firefox) or for certain cursors (resize) but the main pointer was the default white cursor. No combination of logging out or rebooting gave different results. What's odd is that if I used the compiz system tray icon (package 'fusion-icon') to change the window decorator to 'GTK Window Decorator' instead of 'Emerald,' then everything works as expected. In fact, I removed my ~/.icons/default/index.theme and I can successfully switch cursor themes with compiz running as long as I have the window decorator set to GTK. I can then switch back to Emerald without problems after. It would seem this is a problem with Emerald and not Compiz, at least in my case. -- Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
