Bug#629488: x11-xserver-utils: xsetroot man page -cursor_name cross ref



Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.6+2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/xsetroot.1.gz

The xsetroot man page says,

    -cursor_name cursorname
                             ...  Refer to appendix B of the X pro-
           tocol for the names (except that the XC_ prefix  is  elided  for
           this option).

But if I'm not mistaken the names are not in the X protocol manual
appendix B but instead the Xlib programmer's manual appendix B.

All this stuff is confusing enough to want good cross references.  For
debian the actual xlib manual file could be shown, to know exactly where
to look
