I can confirm this issue in the 10.04 LTS Final! It happens when installing the Kubuntu Desktop Package on an existing vanilla Ubuntu. It seems to flip a few switches changing the default mouse theming on Ubuntu to the KDE Oxy One. (Personally I prefer the Ubuntu DMZ white so this was a issue for me)
The Gnome Theme Dialog can no longer change the Cursor at all! The Kde System Settings does change it but only till you log out. The Fix!: Just Run sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme ... Then select a number 0-7 ( each number represents the cursor theme you want) 7 is the default Ubuntu DMZ white. This should fix the issue. it did for me , Thanks to "varun" and others for the fix! :) I Agree This should be rolled as the fix see "varuns" comment (above) I suggest making the post install config run this as a script or something clever. -- KDE 4 doesn't respect X11 cursor themes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
