Of course, you could extend the Xcursor spec and API to hold multiple cursor themes simultaneously, which may be the right thing to do long-term.

You mean, DeviceKit died before it even started? I see that it's to be merged with udev.

Zaphod mode (independant heads, 0.0 , 0.1) is know to be broken from time to time as it's not used very often.

Different cursor _themes_ for multiple pointers?
Hi, inspired by a previous discussion[1] I've written a dumb tool to control cursors for multiple pointers with Xcursor and XInput2: http://git.ao2.it/xicursorset.git/?a=blob;f=xicursorset.c;hb=HEAD Now I have a question, would it be possible to change the whole cursor theme for an arbitrary pointer in a multi-pointer setup?

So that's useless too. :( Thanks for your response. I am beginning to believe that I am simply asking too much — X.org can handle multiple input devices, but it does not really make it easy to configure them.
