Compiz takes my mouse theme . . .

I installed compiz fusion and fusion-icon. I have gtk-window-decorator running and I am almost happy with my configuration. However, when compiz is enabled my mouse cursor theme changes to the default Gnome cursors. Does anybody know what I should do?

Please let me know if I am posting in the wrong place!

Thanks!

Re: Compiz takes my mouse theme . . .

use .Xresources to specify the cursor theme and load it with xrdb ~/.Xresources when X starts

here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xresources

you just need:

Xcursor.theme: theme-name
