Description of problem: I noticed that with recent rawhides the mouse cursors somehow are stock X11 instead of the themed ones. I'm kind of unsure when this happened or how to fix it. There are cursor icons in /usr/share/icons/Theme/cursors/ and things look normal that way.

Additional info: On a related item, the Cursors page is empty in "Mouse preferences".. I guess this is part of control-center. Thanks :)
Playing around with gconftool-2 returns the following (note Bluecurve set as cursor theme): .. /desktop/gnome/peripherals: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse: double_click = 400 single_click = true drag_threshold = 8 cursor_font = (no value set) left_handed = false locate_pointer = false cursor_theme = Bluecurve motion_acceleration = -1 motion_threshold = -1 cursor_size = 24
Running control-center's gnome-mouse-properties from the command line prints out: (gnome-mouse-properties:2832): -properties-CRITICAL **: cursor_theme_changed: assertion `gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (model, &iter)' failed Maybe this is more of a gnome-issue than a X11 issue..
Same problem here!
...And I don't think its a gnome (only) problem, since KDE in rawhide behaves in exactly the same way??? Did the format or path or whatever change for these versions of things or something?
I've got the same problem. First my gdm had the X11 cursors a few days later after some rawhide updates also my gnome desktop got affected with those very ugly cursors
The reason it doesn't work is quite simple. The files are empty. :) [root@poseidon cursors]# ll /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/cursors/left_ptr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 10 dec 10.44 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/cursors/left_ptr Component should be changed to redhat-artwork (original reporter can do this).
i'm seing the same thing, so in an attempt to try to corner the problem i installed the redhat-artwork src.rpm and rpmbuild -ba'ed it. rpm -Uvh --force'd the outcome rpm and my left_ptr (and others) are no longer 0 bytes - And the cursors are now bluecurve cursors the way they should be. note that the src.rpm i rebuilt and the installed redhat-artwork package was the exact same version, so something is probably rotten in some way on the build system...?
It's also fixable by going into the directory and running: for config in *.cfg ; do xcursorgen $config ${config%.cfg} ; done
looks like a build machine borkage. I have the same issues. I take a look when I get back to the office on tuesday.
This should really get fixed for FC5.
I just took time to figure this one out. So, here's what happened: xcursorgen got moved into the xorg-x11-apps package. When building the RPM, there would be errors about missing xcursorgen, but the build did not fail for some strange reason (NOTE: we should investigate that). Simply adding a BR on xorg-x11-apps fixes this. I've rebuilt with this fix, so next time there's an update available, enjoy!
Confirmed fixed worked for me in rawhide 2006-01-14
