Dear list, more and more annoying things are happening. Programs modify X defaults in an unacceptable manner. For example, the Acrobat Reader (e. g. acroread8 port) displays an ugly white mouse pointer where the normal black pointer should be. The same does Opera (e. g. opera-9.63 port) when doing some work; the mouse pointer gets a white shape again and is accompanied by an old fashioned hourglass. And Gimp is an example, too, allthough I can understand this behaviour when the mouse pointer should get the shape of a certain tool (e. g. fill tool), but it shouldn't change the setting just for simple things like the rectangular selection tool - white mouse cursor with a symbolized selection rectangle (which could be an addition to the standard cursor). My question: Is there any way to prohibit such modifications of resources, or do I have to live with this inconsistency? It worked in the past, why can't it work today? :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
