Bug Description

Some theme for gnome cursor are available. Yet, the cursor section of the mouse
preference window let people only choose a theme, not install one. So, only the
package xcursor-themes is easily installable. But its components are one theme,
with two colors and five sizes for each color...

A drag and drop feature to install a theme would be a must...

Hey ! You said "will be fixed for GNOME 2.14: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312776", and I run Gnome 2.16 !?

Has this report been forgotten ?

The parallel report on gnome's bugzilla is misunderstandable. The progression seems frozen…

I know this comment is not constructive, but :

Such slowness or frivolity in bugs or whatever has first made me weary about contributing and then quit Linux world to Mac OS X : the best (dumb ?) consumer position with high quality usability, advanced innovation, it just works out of the box and, well, the very feeling that my needs are understood and adressed.

I wish you to choose the best road.
