I would say the bug is that you have to restart... We may have it fixed in next release such that you don't have to, I'm not sure. There's a new cursor theme system. It does say "Note: You will have to logout and log back in for this setting to take effect." So you are prompted. I missed it. I was expecting a pop-up window similar to the one you get when changing the screen settings. I would prefer not to put a big dialog like that. Ideally we'll be able to change cursors on the fly in the future, anyway. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: After changing the cursor type, the user isn't prompted to restart X (i.e. logout/login) for the change to take affect.

Actual Results: No change to mouse cursor. Expected Results: Mouse cursor type would change immediately. Additional info: Prompt the user to logout/login.
