Bug#768635: big-cursor: Requires a change to /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme

[Joel Roth <joelz@pobox.com>]

Package: big-cursor
Version: 3.9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Installing big-cursor package did not change the default
cursor on two systems I maintain (sid, Ubuntu LTS) where X
is started with startx. 

Big-cursor was not offered as a choice when I ran:

update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

I resolved the issues by editing
/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme.

If this approach is suitable, perhaps it could be documented
in README.Debian:

	For some systems it may be necessary to edit
	/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme as follows:

	[Icon Theme]
	Inherits=big-cursor

Thank you.
