Actually, on my F13 netbook, (at least) some apps still display the ugly
black wait-busy icon, while others (firefox, at least) use the white hand
with whirling blue stuff around it. This is after installing all the gnome
bluecurve stuff I could find.

I was confused because only one cursor-theme was installed, namely
dmz-cursor-theme (the default), which made gnome cursor control
System->Preferences->Appearance->Customize Theme->Pointer
seem not to be good for anything.  As soon as I loaded some other
themes, namely:
bluecurve-cursor-theme-8.0.2.5.fc12.noarch
moblin-cursor-theme-0.3.2.noarch
oxygen-cursor-themes-4.4.3.1.fc13.1.noarch
this choice box became very useful.

This may be better too.  Haven't been able to check so far.

Thanks to all - jon
