I have grown fussy in my 12 years of UNIX administration, and I enjoy making my environment the way I like it. The Fedora default "I" beam cursor is too large and so much like a stealth airplane for me. I would like to know what the name of the Xresource is to change the pointer shape in gnome-terminal (and perhaps other input dialog text areas). In the good old days(TM) you used to be able to set this in your .Xdefaults with a line similar to: XTerm*pointerShape: left_ptr There must be the equivalent to this in gnome. Or, under the heading of "BRUTE FORCE", where is the bitmap for the "I" beam cursor and I will copy over the 'left_ptr' to the "I" beam cursor bitmap, and solve it that way. Executive Summery: How do I get rid of the _STEALTH_ "I" beam pointer and get back a nice small left_ptr pointer (optionally in the color of my choice). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Christopher G.
