From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: 1) I had to disable dpms in the monitor section of /etc/X11/XF86Config in order to get 16 and 24 bit color. 2) If I log in as a normal (not root) user account, I have the black 'X' cursor permanently drawn in the center of the screen. I also have the fully functional red transparent cursor, but that black X just sits there. Once it was in the upper-left corner of the screen. BTW - how do I make the cursor go back to the normal color, I don't like the red. (the transparency is fine, I just don't like it being red) 3) Unless logged in as root, the battstat-applet (laptop bettery meter for gnome panel) is problematic. At first it would crash the panel if I tried to load it. Now it sometimes loads, usually isn't remembered between sessions, sometimes is remembers but crashes when I start a session, and sometimes a session starts with multipl instances. This isn't very predictable in terms of how it will behave, but predictable that it won't be behaving as expected. (If the applet loads, it runs fine, it's just a question of if it will load) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 2) log in as my normal user account and run startx. Actual Results: 2) the black 'X' which is the [moveable] mouse cursor until GNOME/metacity have loaded is drawn permanently in the center of the screen once GNOME/metacity. The red transparent mouse cursor is drawn and totally functional at this point, but the black X is still there. Expected Results: 2) The black 'X' should turn into the red transparent cursor once GNOME/metacity load. Additional info: Since the battstat-applet behavior isn't predictable, I tried to put all relevant info in the description, as Actual Results vary.
