Bug 448376

Summary: x11-themes/gnome-themes-standard-3.4.2 overwrites default cursor theme
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: ac.serbanescu
Component: [OLD] GNOMEAssignee: Gentoo Linux Gnome Desktop Team <gnome>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: minor    
Priority: Normal    
Version: unspecified   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux

Runtime testing required: ---

Description ac.serbanescu 2012-12-24 08:23:39 UTC
gnome-themes-standard installs a symbolic link /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default (pointing to the directory containing the Adwaita cursor theme) which inhibits loading the old X cursors, leaving the user which desires to retain them with no option but to remove the said file.

Please consider disabling this link, which would still result in the Adwaita theme being loaded by default, but would allow the user to explicitly disable loading any cursors in a clean way.

Reproducible: Always
