 Couple of things One it's slow, new windows seem to take a while
and it acts as if it is hung... but it isn't.  The refresh on KDE works
but (and this is just KDE) is also slower than one would want.  One
thing though.  The cursor didn't change on kde.  I had to log out and
log back in to get the new cursors working at all.  In iceWM it works ok
but there is no (and why I understand ) restart command yet... One thing
I noticed.  Even with the restart the icon doesn't change for a running
Mozilla session.

It would probably help if I gave a link ...

[Cooker] Updated choose_cursor script

[Buchan Milne]

I have made a number of changes to the cursor selection script in the 
cursor_themes package, and would like some more people to test. I have 
some things to do still:
-Use ~/.Xresources instead of ~/.icons/default/index.theme and see how 
well that works
-Check for cursors in ~/.icons/default and move them if necessary 
(dependant on X behaviour regarding above).

I have implemented (optional) WM restarting for KDE, WindowMaker and 
Metacity/GNOME (I assume GNOME is running Metacity at present). It works 
for me. I have not implemented in the other WMs, since I have not found a 
way to detect if they are running on the current display. I could (in the 
case where I just need to send them a signal) do it regardless, but I 
would prefer to play it safe. I can detect the other WMs via shell 
variables (such as DESKTOP=kde), but it seems many WMs don't (with 
Metacity I actually test a GNOME-specific variable, and hope ;-)).

Any ideas for detecting more WMs would be happily accepted.

Finally, I want to remove the requires on Xdialog, since I use kdialog or 
gdialog if they are available and an appropriate WM is running. But I 
don't want to require kdebase (kdialog) or gnome-utils (gdialog). Is there 
any way to change this, or should we have kdebase, gnome-utils, cdialog 
and Xdialog all have virtual provides? (Of course, there are issues that 
kdialog is not totally compatible with the cdialog arguments).

Regards,
Buchan
