           Summary: colored cursors from xfree 4.3 work only half
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: o.gorter@student.utwente.nl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc i686-pc-linux-gnu 3.2.1 recompiled qt 3.1 kdelibs kdebase \
                after installing xfree 4.3_pre1
OS:          Linux

With the new XFree (version 4.3) there is support for (the long wanted feature of) \
colored mouse pointers. I installed 4.3_pre1 and they seem to work. But only the wait \
pointer (animated hour glass!) and normal hand pointer and the text pointer seem to \
work. All the other cursors are still the old black and white things.

Probably because they are hardcoded in the applications. Places where a black and \
white pointers show: All resize handles of windows.
Hand pointers in kicker and KHTML.
Some wait cursors, especially KHTML.

the list is probably longer. I think the whole mouse cursors in KDE needs to be \
redone to support this new feature fully! And XFree 4.3 is coming late february if I \
am not mistaken, it sure would be nice if this feature would not be 'late'.

As I read some whish bug reports here and some mailing lists/forums a lot of people \
want to have better pointers in KDE, now this is possible! Moreover GTK1 and GTK2 \
fully suport these cursor changes (must I say: 'don't use hardcoded cursors?')
