If

I am not running it locally. I ssh into the my laptop from my mac and
run that. The default cursor is the default trinity cursor.
Calvin
Does the xserver of your mac honor X11 cursor themes?
Nik
I think it must because it is getting set somehow. by default it uses the
regular mac one until set otherwise
So this works, i.e. sets the cursor:
ssh somebody@localhost "/opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded"
But this does not, i.e. does not set the cursor:
ssh somebody@sunnybeach "/opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded"
Is this right?
Nik
It appears not to matter actually - it always uses that cursor without
either command. I suppose that it is just a default somewhere.
Where would a default cursor be set?
