Had the same happen to me (installed kubuntu-desktop, didn't like it, reverted back to gnome, ugly mouse cursors still there). Evan Nelson's suggestion didn't work for me either. I tracked it down to the oxygen pointer theme not being properly changed back to DMZ-White, which seems to be the standard gnome pointer theme. To change it back, I just manually edited /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme so that the line
Inherits = oxy-white now reads Inherits = DMZ-White It seems to be the exact same bug described by Daniel Hahler in comment #6. -- Default mouse cursor does not revert when uninstalling Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
