The cursor theme is controlled by the Debian alternatives system. See 'man(8) update-alternatives'. To list the cursor themes you have installed: # update-alternatives --list x-cursor-theme (You have to be root, or use sudo.) You can have more than one theme installed, and use update-alternatives to select the one you want to use. Same goes for a whole bunch of other things, including your default editor, www browser, shell, terminal emulator, window manager, session manager, etc. -- Michael M. ++ Portland, OR ++ USA "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream." --S.
