[Bug 752314] New: Cursor Selection not respected in GNOME 3.x
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752314 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752314#c0 Summary: Cursor Selection not respected in GNOME 3.x Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suseROCKS@bryen.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2 Despite selecting a cursor in gnome-tweak-tool, the cursor selection does not remain consistent throughout the desktop experience. The solution was found to also make the change in sysconfig editor > Desktop > X_MOUSE_CURSOR. Once the value there was changed to reflect the same name as the mouse pointer selected in gnome-tweak-tool, everything was fine. The original value in X_MOUSE_CURSOR was "DMZ" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select preferred cursor theme in gnome-tweak-tool 2. Use desktop normally and notice mouse pointer changes 3. Enter preferred cursor theme in sysconfig editor 4. Note cursor theme now stays consistent. Expected Results: GNOME Desktop should somehow sync the values between gnome-tweak-tool and sysconfig's X_MOUSE_CURSOR. Most users wouldn't know to go here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Gnome-tweak-tool changes the gsettings entry, "org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme", and it's fine for the most of applications. However, mutter 3.2 monitors the gconf entry, /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme, instead of the gsettings one. So you don't need to mess up sysconfig and can change the cursor theme for mutter by using gconftool-2. $ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme "your theme" It's fixed in 3.4 since mutter migrated from gconf to gsettings, but it's unlikely to be fixed in 3.2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Someone could patch gnome-tweak-tool to change the gconf key, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Vincent, Do you think there is some way we can fix this for openSUSE 12.1 too? If so, I can take this up. If you think this is too invasive a change for 12.1, then we have to close this at this point I am afraid. Please let me know your opinion.

As I said, I don't think we can take the upstream change for 12.1, but we can patch gnome-tweak-tool to also change a gconf key in addition to the gsettings key, which is not too intrusive and would work as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
