You go to the new thing called Appearance (whose icon Properties say it runs gnome-appearance-properties %F), and spot a button near the bottom called Customize; click it; the far right tab says Pointer, and has a slider near the bottom for size. Move it, close the tab, and unless I'm misremembering, be sure to click Save As and tell it something before you close the App. But if that also has a way to enable the control-button trick (or any way to make the screensaver *use* backgrounds file, or any choice of files by the user), I sure don't see it. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious (very precious) little of what I am talking about.
