Description Ben Knowles 2009-06-15 02:45:23 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Any time the mouse cursor theme is changed from its kde4 default to "kdeclassic" it reverts back to the default, usually within a few minutes.

I can repeatedly reproduce this bug:
In system settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse -> Cursor theme

Set mouse theme to e.g KDE Classic
Log out and log back in again.
Mouse theme immediately reverts to Oxygen White

I have the very same problem. However, I cannot fully reproduce it and believe it is more random. There were times when I logged out and logged in again and the  mouse theme remained and at other times (most times) it reverted. 

What I discovered though: if the cursor theme reverted, it did not fully revert!! I love to use redclass. If it reverts it reverts to some kind of handhelds theme (same red cursors just very tiny). Some kind of... because I realized that the theme actually switches depending on the Window. On some Windows it was a redclass cursor and in other windows or above the desktop it was handhelds theme.

Hope this helps. If you want me to run further tests please don't hesitate to email me.

ps. I am on kde 4.5.5
