[tde-users] Pointers on pointers?

Greets, everybody . . . The Debian install seems to be working just fine but for a couple littlish hiccups: It didn't fix the occasional weirdness where my keyboard doesn't recognize some keys and seems endlessly stuck with others, which is fixed, for days, by a reboot. Changing keyboards doesn't help. For more than a decade, there has been no problem with a link from a directory on the second hard drive to my /home directory. Now it won't and instead throws an error saying it's trying to overwrite itself. All this means is that I have to kind of set it up every time and can't go directly to it with the file manager. Partition is mounted at /media/sdb1 and I have the permissions needed. Weird. Kmail crashes fairly frequently, reason unknown. Maybe Debian has a mail users setting. Haven't looked, and I can send and receive okay. The crash reporter, best I can tell, has never served any useful purpose. But that's not what I'm here to ask about. I'm *still* trying to find where the mouse pointers found in the Mouse > Cursor themes in KControl are located on the drive. If I knew what they are called I could do a locate, but I don't. I hope to take a pre-existing set, one that I don't and won't ever use, and experiment a little bit with it. In the happy long-ago days of OS/2, there was an actual OS/2 application -- $35, and I bet I'm the only one who bought a copy -- that not only let you design your own pointers easily, but let you put the hot pixel wherever you wanted and, more important and what I'd ideally like to achieve, let you color them such that wherever you were on the screen, the pointer would be the opposite of the color beneath it. On the fly. Instantly. Always. Totally visible. I do not know if X even allows anything like this, but it's worth wasting a day over. Even if that isn't possible, I'd like to pull some of them up in the icon editor and change their colors so that they are really, really visible. But I can't break them because I can't find where they live! Anyone know? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
