i dont bother with gcursor anymore. have you tried going to - system / preferences / appearance then selecting the customize option, then under that select pointer ? it works for me on gnome, and under kubuntu if you go to system settings / computer administration / and then keyboard and mouse, then select mouse, then select cursor theme, select the theme you want and then you should get a message about re-starting kde.
to install a theme, under kubuntu uner the same option as above, you should see a button saying install new theme, if you select it you should be able to go to where you have downloaded your cursor themes and select one you want and install it (you may get an error about it not being in the right format, this is due to some files not being packaged properly) and again you select the theme and restart kde. to install a theme under ubuntu, go to the appearance section and under the theme tab drag and drop your cursor themes there, it worked for me, you will have to mess about and log in and out again to see them, but they should show up, you can also extract the cursor theme into the icons folder i think it is. just a note though, installing new themes, be they icons, cursors or window decoration type themes seems to work alot better under kubuntu, least thats what ive found. -- gcursor doesn't change mouse cursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138491 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
