Bug#632030: libxcursor1: Wrong cursor icon in first X session, but not in second.
Package: libxcursor1
Version: 1:1.1.11-3
Severity: normal
Hi.
I know the subject line sounds weird. I am not even sure libxcursor1 is the
culprit. This is really what happens:
Settings:
* wheezy (with some stuff from sid)
* GDM uses black cursors (dmz-black) from the package dmz-cursor-theme (0.4.3)
* my user account, running XFCE4 (versions see below) uses the same black
cursors from the package dmz-cursor-theme.
Steps to reproduce:
1. booting the system
2. gdm3 (2.30.5-10) comes up
3. logging into my account, running XFCE4
4. session comes up with the default mouse arrow in white instead of black
(when hovering over the desktop background, XFCE4's panels or Synaptic's
window). BUT: When hovering over some programs (i.e. iceweasel, thunar, medit
etc.) the correct black cursor appears. Other cursor status icons (like that
for "being busy", the text cursor mouse icon, etc.) do appear in the design of
dmz-black).
5. logging out of the session
6. logging in again with the same user, same settings:
This time the cursor icon is from dmz-black when hovering over the desktop
background.
This happens every time I boot up the machine and log in for the first time.
To sum it up: The default mouse pointer icon seems to be picked wrongly in some
situations in the first X session (after booting) of a user using XFCE4 and
gdm3, if the user has set a custom mouse cursor icon set from the package dmz-
cursor-theme (in XFCE4 as well as in gdm3). This problem seems to disappear
after the user has shut down the first X session and logs in again.
Starting xfce4-settings and changing the mouse cursor design to some other
selection and back doesn't help, by the way.
