Ok, so this is a side-effect of no longer using gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap (as it's not available in GTK3).
gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap uses XCreatePixmapCursor to create a cursor, and this does some magic via libxcursor to match a hash of the cursor bitmap to a themed pointer (left_ptr_watch), which gave us the nice looking pointer. There doesn't seem to be any support in xlib or gdk for creating a pointer of this type with any other mechanism though :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901838 Title: Ugly busy cursor in Thunderbird 9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/901838/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
