xorg problem with custom cursors

[Le Gluon Du Net]

Binary package hint: xorg

Hello,

since I'm on lucid, my cursor theme is not very functionnal: it depends on the application, the cursor is the xorg default or, in firefox, the cursor theme.
 On the desktop, awn, gnome panel it's the xorg default.
If I change the cursor theme with another, same bug, so it's not the theme but XOrg that doesn't use the cursor theme correctly.
I hope this help you to give Ubuntu better and better ;-)
Thanks.

I have the same problem on another computer with intel video graphic card.
When I'm using a cursor theme, the personnalized cursor does not appear on the gnome-panel, desktop area, awn, windows icon and bar. But appears on icon on the desktop, inside windows (not metacity).
If my description is not enough clear or understandable, I could make a video of this problem.

Thanks.

I found on a forum this solution:
in the /home/your_home_folder/.icons, rename the cursor folder name "default", then open his index.theme and replace Inherits=core by Inherits=your_cursor_theme_name
It works!
But why I have to do that?
Finally are you sure it's a nvidia bug?

another thiçng: the bug only appearing when compiz is on. If compiz is disabled, my cursor have the correct cursor theme.

Hello,

It is not a nvidia bug, I could reproduce it on another computer with an intel graphic card.
Please change the affects.

Thanks.
