Actually, I did look at this, but it seemed the only cursor themes available (on my system) are dmz, dmz-aa and KDE Classic. None of them seemed to have a very appropriate cursor for the application I was using (inkscape). Is there any way of specifying a particular cursor for a particular role? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
