For fixing problems with tiny pointers in just xterm under fvwm3 I did this: in .Xresources XTerm*pointerShape: left_ptr XTerm*cursorThem: Adwaita Xcursor.size: 32 Xcursor.size can be 64 and also a couple of smaller sizes. There may be other variations on this. I don't know, but this really saved me from a micro pointer. -- Regards, Chris Bennett "Who controls the past controls the future.
