[solved] Cursor themes are not consistant

I'm using XFCE and I have a few cursor themes in /usr/share/icons.  I switched to a different theme in the Mouse settings, but the cursor only appears when hovering over applications.  Over the XFCE desktop, it's the default black theme.  How can I fix this?

Add "Xcursor.theme: YOURTHEME" to .Xdefaults and see if that works.

Hey, now we're talking.  I noticed that I also have to have the cursor theme set in the mouse settings or it's the opposite - it won't show up while hovering over applications.  Have any of you guys experienced this problem too?

Re: [solved] Cursor themes are not consistant

Hm, I'm still having the same problem. Sometimes the default black x mouse cursor comes through, for example in firefox. This only happens in XFCE, not in IceWM or KDE. What's wrong here? Why are the mouse theme settings in the XCFE settings not consistent?

I've additionally set my mouse theme in .Xdefaults. It's weird...

Coming closer and closer to the ultimate goal: replacing boring old Windows XP desktop with shiny new Arch KDE 4 desktop. ^^
