Here is my workaround. 1) create a file in the folder of the Icon theme you want to use and name it cursor.theme and put the following it it. [Icon Theme] Inherits=NameOfTheme
2) type the following at the command line. $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme x-cursor-theme path/to/cursor.theme 3) type the following sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme then chose the theme you want to use. -- 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
