Bug 84610 – gcursor without gnome (saving to ~/.Xdefaults)

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Anton Romanov 2005-03-09 02:22:15 UTC]

gcursor in description has
"X11 mouse theme selector" while it is only a Gnome cursor selector...
so i've made patch which forces it to save chosen theme and size in ~/.Xdefault

...well i'm still not sure if it is right because ... well i'm not sure can someone's Xdefaults contain settings other than cursor .... (with this patch gcursor overwrites Xdefaults writting to it only cursor theme and size)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gcursor changes are useless without gnome

Expected Results:  
Gcursor useful without gnome

.Xdefaults can contain lots of other options. the imho correct behavior would be to sed s/^Xcursor.theme[^#]/Xcursor.theme %s/ (same with size).
unfortunately i'm not firm enough with c to patch the patch

well, then i'll try to contact upstream or (in case of failure) i'll try to spend some time on modifiying patch...

marking later ..... when (if) patch will be patched .... or something....
