For a good laugh, just browse the gnome-devel archives. I agree. I remember six years ago installing a Fedora derivative (Blag) and finding myself unable to do something as simple as changing the mouse cursor to a color one (bright red). http://forums.blagblagblag.org/viewtopic.php?p=7569&sid=e7203939b88e37535fc0a0bf040fdc09#7569 The answer from other users was "I gave up". 15 years ago, in IBM OS/2 Warp, changing the mouse cursor was a drag-and-drop operation, just drag any .ico over the drop area of the mouse pointer tab in the mouse properties object, and that .ico became the cursor. IÂm curious if things have improved in Gnome 3, or changing the cursors is still a pain in the ass. (Remembering my experiences with Blag, when I jumped over to Fedora 9, I didnÂt bother to try to change the mouse cursors set).
