Blender has weird menus

I have an old nvidia card that uses nividia-71xx driver and blender menus get strange when I move the cursor over them, as you may see:

Here is part of my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "freetype"
        SubSection "extmod"
                Option     "omit xfree86-dga"
        EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
        HorizSync    31.5-48.5
        VertRefresh  50-60
        Option       "DPI"   "96 x 96"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        Option      "TripleBuffer"    "True"

EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth  24

        Subsection "Display"
                Depth   8
                Modes   "1024x768"  "800x600"
                ViewPort  0 0
        EndSubsection
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth    16
                Modes    "1024x768"  "800x600"
                ViewPort  0 0
        EndSubsection
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth    24
                Modes    "1024x768"  "800x600"
                ViewPort  0 0
        EndSubsection

        Option    "RenderAccel"    "true"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option          "Composite"   "Disable"
EndSection

Re: Blender has weird menus

Blender is working fine on my system. This is what the module section of xorg.conf looks like:

Section "Module"

    Load           "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
    Load           "extmod"
    Load           "type1"
    Load           "freetype"
    Load           "glx" # 3D layer
EndSection

Re: Blender has weird menus

I think this is caused by buggy 2d OpenGL drivers. Blender uses it and pretty much everything else doesn't. I've seen this before, although I think it was on Windows when I got it.

You've seen this before with nVidia?

Re: Blender has weird menus

I've found the guilty. It was the cursor theme. -.- (Vanilla-DMZ-AA).

Is there anyway to disable the cursor theme (use the default one) only when using blender?
