The current nightly build uses a very outdated mouse theme. It seems to me like the default mouse theme of the Xserver. It appears in the 32bit as well as in the 64bit version of this spin. Don't know how to debug it.
Here's the problem: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme libXcursor-1.1.11-3.fc15.i686 $ cat /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [Icon Theme] Inherits=Adwaita $ rpm -q --requires libXcursor | grep theme (nothing) While on F14 it is: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme libXcursor-1.1.10-5.fc14.i686 $ cat /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [Icon Theme] Inherits=dmz-aa $ rpm -q --requires libXcursor | grep theme dmz-cursor-themes Possible solutions: 1. Make libXcursor depend on gnome-themes-standard. If we go that way, the big gnome-themes-package should at least be split up to provide the cursor theme as a separate package. 2. Do it like KDE. They have /usr/share/icons/default.kde4/index.theme provided by and using oxygen-icon-theme. We would need to patch xfce4-settings because it provides /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml Advantages of 1: Consistent cursor everywhere, say in GDM, Xfce and apps that are run as root through userhelper while solution 2 only works when xfce4-settings-helper is running. Advantages of 2: No artificial dependencies. We are in control of the cursor and do not rely on the GNOME folks. What do you think?
This looks like a dup of bug #675509 essentially
Yeah, after some conversation on IRC we agreed to discuss everything there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 675509 ***
