A fix for a miscolored X11 cursor on Intel Macs
Authored by: angrypanda on Mar 08, '07 04:06:04AM

Doesn't work for me.

I tried logging in to a FC5 machine, and copying the hicolor or Bluecurve icon folders to ~/.icons as the HighContrast icon set was not installed on this system.

I made the link to default and logged out, logged back in, and still get the useless yellow cursor.

Oh well, back to the patch.

Sorry this was my fault. I've installed several optional icon sets on my Linux systems.

I hope a more portable set of steps on the remote linux system are:

   mkdir ~/.icons
   cd ~/.icons
   cp -R /usr/share/icons/hicolor .
   ln -s hicolor default
If the cp -R fails then you need to do a
ls -F /usr/share/icons
and change 'hicolor' in both places in the above commands to a valid directory returned by the 'ls -F' command. (Don't use the 'default' directory in /usr/share/icons it won't work.)
