I have installed KDE 2.2.1 for Mandrake 8.x, and after a few days I had to
reboot and now the mouse cursor change from an arrow to a hand every time
that it passes over a file, directory, and even the button on the taskbar
I would like to know how to change it and make it that it won't change
execpt when web browsing but not on the desktop or file browsing.
I could even edit a file if told which one to edit
--
Thank you in advance
Merci a l'avance

1. Mouse Cursor in KDE 2.0 and Accelerated X
I tried the new Accelerated X version 6.0 X server demo on my laptop -
it is both faster and has a better-behaved driver than XFree86 or
Metro X. However, there's a strange problem in KDE 2.0 - several of
the mouse cursor symbols appear as black shapes, without the
foreground white detail. For instance, the `pointing finger' that
appears ofer URLs and on buttons on Kicker appears as a completely
black hand. Normal X cursors appear OK, whether or not I'm using KDE.
I don't even know what mouse cursors are (fonts? bitmaps?) or where
they are to be found. I managed to find an `open look cursor' font,
whose characters (in xfd) display OK, but I couldn't find the
offending KDE cursors among them. Accelerated X support asked for a
screenshot, but unfortunately the KDE snapshot program doesn't capture
the cursor!
Any ideas?
Stephen.
