Description Owen Taylor 2005-08-25 12:20:06 UTC 
Would be much more useful if XcursorSetTheme(display, NULL) 
if set the theme to the initial default rather than to NULL.
(Which seems to look things up in the theme 'default', which is
not the initial default value, since that depends on Xresources 
and the environment.)
Comment 1 Keith Packard 2005-08-25 13:43:05 UTC 
It would be even nicer if we could figure out how cursor themes should actually
work and move in that direction...
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2005-08-25 16:06:26 UTC 
I think it's working pretty for us at the current time.
Comment 3 Federico Mena-Quintero 2005-09-09 18:38:44 UTC 
About the opening comment - what would the "initial default" be?
Comment 4 Federico Mena-Quintero 2005-09-09 18:54:07 UTC 
Oh, I think I get it.

So XcursorSetTheme(dpy, NULL) selects the core ugly cursors, but you want it to
pick up the Xcursor.theme xresource?
Comment 5 Federico Mena-Quintero 2005-09-09 18:55:09 UTC 
Are the resources for Xcursor listed/documented anywhere?

Comment 7 Keith Packard 2005-09-12 09:51:20 UTC 
I've committed Federico's patch to xlibs/Xcursor, but not to xorg/lib/Xcursor.
For that, I believe we need to push it through the release queue.

applied to head, should show up in RC2.  thanks!
