Package: libxcursor1 Version: 1:1.1.14-1+b4 Severity: wishlist It'd be good to have an /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme choice which is the standard cursor font, so that's available when other packages give other themes.
I struck this when adwaita-icon-theme a while ago incorporated its cursor font into that package, with irritating cursor animations and stuff. adwaita-icon-theme is dragged in by gtk and things. Setting /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme to /dev/null returns to the standard cursors, but perhaps that's not really the right way. I'm not sure whether an alternative would belong in libxcursor1 or some other base package. It's ultimately libxcursor1 which reads chosen cursors if I'm not mistaken, but maybe something else is responsible for the paths. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.iso88591, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.iso88591 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages libxcursor1 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 libxcursor1 recommends no packages. libxcursor1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
