Hello.
I'm trying to change the default FC3 cursors with Jimmac's.
I put the new cursors into ~/.icons/default/cursors and I created ~/.icons/default/index.theme. So far, so good. The new cursors load, but they show through only a part of the GNOME desktop. But they change to the default ones in some apps such as Firefox, Thunderbird or jEdit. It's kinda annoying to have a cursor that keeps changing on a per-app basis, especially the normal pointer. :(
Firefox and Thunderbird use Mozilla's gui toolkit - there were Fedora developers (if I recall) who submitted patches to use gtk2+ but they were turned down by mozilla upstream - Fedora can't include them anyway and still call the browser Firefox.
With respect to jEdit - that uses Java's gui toolkit, and an application not distributed by Fedora, so a request for it to use the gtk2+ toolkit needs to go with whoever your JRE vendor is.
