main pointer cursor isn't shown

[Andrew Schulman]

In precise, I use ubuntu-tweak to set the theme, choosing ComixCursors-Red-Huge-Slim. Most of the comix cursors are then used, but the most common one, the simple finger pointer when you're not clicking or waiting or hovering over a text box, isn't shown. Instead, I get the bland white arrow cursor. Please see the screenshot.

Well, I found Information On The Net that said with Unity, in order to change the cursor theme, I have to run update-alternatives x-cursor-theme. Which is a *global* change for the host. So I tried it, and it's true, now I get the full set of comix cursors.

So this is a usability bug in Unity, not any problem with comixcursors. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for making Comix Cursors! I love 'em!
