and at that point... david is right.. it's part and parcel of work to do a
"matching gtk/qt theme" and is not part of polishig up the e17 theme... :)

you have that right now... gtk and qt apps.. and fltk.. and every "web
app" (which all do their own custom css/look etc.) all look different. that's
life.

and thats yet another.. where crhomium uses gtk for some specific elements, but
in general re-implements al of its own widgest and drawing anyway (often with
html). the cursor is just the few things that html has yet to take over and
customize. i imaginein html6 they may allow css to specify gif/png/dom elements
for cursors and have js able to animate them et. then... then you're back to
this complaint again.

out of scrope for "e17 theme polish" as above. :)
