Using compiz and a custom mouse pointer.

Hello, I've just installed compiz in a Gnome environment, and everything seems to be working as it should except for one thing: when I use compiz I lose the pointers I have selected in the "Appearance" application. Instead of keep being what they are (Bluecurve) they fallback to the default ones.

Has anyone come across this before or know how to fix it?

I'm using the plugins showed here [1] [2] and I'm starting Compiz right now with FusionIcon.

There have been quite a few references to this recently, plus there is an entry in the Wiki:

Thank you very much, I should have looked to the wiki before, I'm sorry about that.
