cursor indicator of program loading
Hello. On a gnome desktop, the cursor no longer indicates, via the
spinning industrial wheel, the loading of a program, after pressing a
desktop icon such as iceweasel (the cursor's spinning wheel does show
up when the cursor is within the iceweasel window, but not when the
cursor is simply against the Desktop background while programs are
loading.)
The computer is an Etch box, and the one user ("guest") is used by a
number of people. The computer is an old, slow, Pentium III; so,
programs take a while to load, sometimes.
I'm guessing a hidden file, within the guest user directory, got
altered, and needs to be either deleted, or changed back. But, I'm not
sure which one it may be. Or, I could be wrong, and it's something
else.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. Often
people, not aware that iceweasel is loading, will keep pressing the
mouse button, leading to problems with the numerous prompts for
instances of iceweasel to be open that the computer subsequently
registers.
Mark
