Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 392 by magnus.therning: gnomeConfig in XMonad.Config.Gnome messes with the Gnome settings for mouse pointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=392 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Change the mouse pointer to a pretty one, using Gnome's config utilities. 2. Use 'main = xmonad gnomeConfig' in your xmonad.hs 3. Make sure to log out and then back in again. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expected the left pointer to be the pretty one I configured it to be in Gnome. Instead it's set to the default, ugly X11 pointer. (All other pointer types are unaffected.) Currently it's left to each user to fix this, by e.g. using main = xmonad $ gnomeConfig { startupHook = gnomeRegister >> ewmhDesktopsStartup } That seems rather silly to me. Surely the default config for use on Gnome should leave the pointer configuration to match what the user configured in Gnome. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? % pacman -Q xmonad xmonad-contrib xmonad 0.9.1-3 xmonad-contrib 0.9.1-2 Arch Linux -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
