Gnome cursor theme sometimes not switched on

Hello.

I have Gnome and whiteglass-dmz cursor set in my preferences. When I start my pc, in GDM there is some other, ugly black cursor. I could live with that, but after login, quite often mouse cursor is not switched to my preferred one, nut the default one stays.
Because of that I am now trying to figure out, how to set whiteglas-dmz as default.
System seems to be ignoring my preferences, whatever I do. Only change I was able to achieve was that I set in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme cursor whiteglass. Then I got white cursor, but not the one I wanted. Whiteglass-dmz is ignored if I set it there.
What name shoud I provide to set whiteglass-dmz system wide?

Re: Gnome cursor theme sometimes not switched on

Thank you for your reply. I have seen this thread already, but my problem is, that I do not know, which is the right name to set in the Inherits line. I use whiteglass-dmz cursor (the one Ubuntu is using) but if I write whiteglass there, I get another cursor. whiteglass-dmz, dmz-whiteglass does not seem to work.
