Description Chris Rebert 2005-11-08 20:51:23 UTC

In gnome 2.12, the Mouse pref panel doesn't list the 'default' cursor theme
(i.e. the xorg default, th eone you would have on a fresh install before using
this control panel). As a result, if you change the cursor to one you dislike
and you preferred the default, you can't switch back to the default, even though
it's in the same directory (/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/) as the other themes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a fresh install of gnome/xorg, Go to G->Desktop->Prefs->Mouse
2. Go to the cursors tab
3. note your current cursor
4. change to one of the themes listed
5. try to revert to the previous theme

Actual Results:  
The 'default' (i.e. xorg default cursor) theme isn't listed, and thus this is
impossible

Expected Results:  
There should have been a listing for the 'default' theme.

Yeah, I can confirm this.

Comment 2 Chris Rebert 2005-11-12 10:48:59 UTC

workaround:
use the configuration editor (G->System Tools->Configuration Editor) and change
the value of
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme
to
'default' (sans quotes)
