Is it a genuine feature of cloning a bug to make mail addresses appear in the body of the report? Now that bugzilla is searchable by Google certainly a bad idea .. In Fedora 14, all still seems to be the same. Under compiz I see irregular cursor sizes: I set my mouse cursors to be as large as possible. In firefox, I see correctly sized large cursors, but not on window decorations, the panel, panel menus, nautilus, ... The mouse cursor is the correct size on everything under metacity. I'd like to add that you also can't change the SIZE of your cursor. In my case, DMZ, since i'm stuck with it. Can't change theme and size. I remember this was due a bad patch applied in compiz, which was a wrong path pointing to mouse related .c file. In fact, the correct path seemed to be the ackward one, and the wrong path was the one which seemed corrected. Here's the excerpt of the fix, in ubuntu. At the time I was using Lucid Lynx and it really fixed, perhaps Red Hat devs can fix this now. =============================================================================== If you can't wait for this to be fixed upstream, here's a step-by-step guide of how to fix based on d.a.'s description (thanks d.a.!) for those not familiar with modifying and re-building things from source. 1. Make sure you have apt-src installed [sudo apt-get install apt-src]. 2. Checkout the compiz-core source [sudo apt-src install compiz-core], this may take a while. 3. Find the relevant file, and modify it accordingly. [sudo vi compiz-0.8.4/debian/patches/013-add-cursor-theme-support.patch]. 3a. Modify lines 133, 135 and 136 to change "core.xml.in" to "core.xml.in.in" and save. 4. Rebuild the package [sudo apt-src build compiz-core], this may take a while. 5. Install compiz-core over existing version [sudo sudo dpkg --install compiz-core_0.8.4-0ubuntu15_amd64.deb] (note I'm on 64-bit system, so filename may be different for you, but you should only need to replace the core one, not the others). 6. Refresh compiz. I just did Alt+F2 [metacity --replace], then Alt+F2 [compiz --replace]. ..and you're done! Mouse cursor and size should now reflect what you have set in your preferences. Massive thanks to d.a. for figuring all this out! =========================================================================== This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.
