Package: xcursor-themes
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
In 6.9 I used cursors from gtk2-engines-industrial (automagically).
After switching to Xorg 7.0 from experimental this stopped working and
I selected the cursor theme with one of [1]
ln -s /usr/share/icons/whiteglass /usr/share/icons/default
ln -s /usr/share/icons/whiteglass ~/.icons/default
This worked with Xorg 7.0 from experimental but many programs break
with Xorg 7.0 from unstable, xterm gives informative message:
$ xterm
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 152 (XFIXES)
Minor opcode of failed request: 23 (XFixesSetCursorName)
Serial number of failed request: 27
Current serial number in output stream: 28
Emacs and Gtk2 programs most notably GDM fail to start with a more
cryptic messages.
The problem disappears after removing the `default' link, but the
curious thing is that it have worked before Xorg from experimental.
