Hi All,
I use my laptop at work via X11 forwarding (to my main desktop which is a mac). I usually initiate a ssh session and then run:
/opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded
This starts a kde session without the kded daemon (which launches kicker and kdesktop and so). For some reason however my X cursor isn't set properly, and instead it's the very ugly default one (which drives me insane), instead of the one I set in kcontrol. This only happens on x11 forwarding and not on my local sessions.
Anyone have any ideas?

just for clearification:
You are running X11 locally, use xterm (or someting simillar) and ssh to the target computer, there you do "/opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded"? If yes, what is the initial cursor theme? Is it the default cursor?

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.

Does the xserver of your mac honor X11 cursor themes?

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?

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?

usually in .Xresources, the resource is called "Xcursor.theme".
