Non-default mouse pointers not respected by GTK and QT apps under compiz

[Yotam Benshalom]

Binary package hint: compiz

Using Karmic 32-bit with the radeon driver on ati x1600.

When I change the cursor pointer theme under compiz, GTK and QT apps do not respect the change, or respect it partially (evolution, for example, shows the new 'hand cursor' correctly but do not change the old 'arrow cursor'.

Non-default mouse pointer theme is respected under metacity. It is also also respected under Compiz if the pointer is above non-gtk or non-qt app, such as Gnome-Do, OpenOffice and Firefox.

This resembles bug #141500. However, unlike in that bug, this problem occurs both under flat file and gconf compiz configuration.It has appeared during one of the last karmic updates.

Fixed spontaneously after several reboots :)

Having the same issue.

Custom cursor is displayed ok in some apps (e.g. Firefox and GNOME Terminal), but in other apps (GNOME Commander, Rhytmbox). in configuration dialogs and on desktop the cursor switches to the default one.

This only happens while running compiz, i.e. when Appearance->Visual Effects has "None" selected (so no hardware acceleration), the cursors are ok.

I'm running Karmic x64, video card is Radeon HD 4830.

Have same issue after upgrading from Karmic to Lucid beta1.
Looks like that upgrade borked configuration somehow.

Can anyone provide a clue where to look?
