Description of problem: Mouse pointer on KDE desktop changes to a large-ish square of vertical stripes when it is over any kind of "resize" control in or on a window. It switches right back to normal when it is moved off. The resize control still works, if you can guess where the real mouse cursor is. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This behavior occurs only with KDE. I have not seen it with Gnome. This behavior occurs only with Fedora 3. It did not occur with previous Fedora or RedHat versions I have installed. I am not sure which component of KDE is indicated. I guess it could also be in the X server. This is a clean recent install of Fedora Core 3, with no kernel, hardware, or driver tweaks, all "stable" up2date updates installed. This is a H-P Vectra VL400 tower w/ 1GHz Intel P4, with a Matrox Millenium G450 Dualhead AGP video card, all from early 2001. How reproducible: 100% on this computer. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE 2. Open any window, e.g. Firefox 3. Move mouse pointer over the bottom right corner of the window, or anyplace inside the window where some kind of "resize" action is activated. Actual results: Mouse pointer turns into an ugly square full of black vertical lines, much larger than a normal mouse pointer. Expected results: Normal mouse pointer should turn into a recognizable "resize" mouse pointer. Additional info:
Strange, i'm not able to reproduce this problem here. Could you please try to change your cursor theme to default Kcontrol->Peripherals->hMouse->Cursor Theme Do you still see this problem? (you have to restart KDE after the change!)
Well, here is what I did. I created a brand new userid, just taking the defaults, logged out, set the session to KDE, logged in w/ the new userid, and saw the same behavior.
could you please attach the output of "rpm -qa | egrep '(^kde|^qt|^xorg)'". thanks

I think the problem was with xorg. Can you please check in FC5 if the problem still appears? (Or maybe FC4 if you have that handy). If it still happens i would reassign the bug to xorg.
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
