> Well, it looks like you aren't running ANY desktop environment, fvwm2, emacs, firefox, xterm. Plus a few other things as needed. This is for two computers running four monitors (one computer is the local one with the monitors, the other is strictly ssh and remote X, each computer has its own desktop I switch between). It's a horror show each time I upgrade, usually takes a few days to get everything "settled" again. > or at least one that doesn't provide an XSettings manager. This is the first time I've *heard* of an "XSettings manager". > Did the evil gnome-settings-daemon even get autospawned? Try "killall > gnome-settings-daemon". I did kill it. It was running again anyway. I killed it again and replaced it with a script that just calls /bin/true :-) Some of the appearance changed back when I killed the daemon, but I'll have to reinstall the theme to see if the cursor is fixed. I have a hard time keeping programs from running xrdb too, I usually end up renaming that too. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
