My mouse cursor is mighty hard to find. Does anyone know of a program
which will make it red+white (instead of black+white)? I tried
xsetroot, but that only affects the root window. I need red for all
windows.

Aha! The real problem is that when user david runs ogg123 its from

I apt-got xfstt in order to use bitstream-vera-sans-mono in emacs and

Older applications, like emacs and xfontsel, can't find bitstream vera

Hi,
I decided to give sarge a try. I did a dist-upgrade. Now all apt-get
