Version: 1.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux No matter how often I set my mouse cursor to "KDE Classic", as soon as I log out and in again, "Oxygen Black" is back. This happens on several machines. If I can help debug this, poke me. Reproducible: Always OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37-trunk-686 Compiler: gcc
I suggest checking the permissions of ~/.kde4/ and other associated directories, seems to work for me. Reassigning.
What should I be looking for? This is happening on two unrelated systems. Both Debian Sid with the experimental 4.6.1 packages.
Try checking the permissions of, or removing, ~/.kde4/share/config/kcminputrc
Permissions look fine to me. Please note cursorTheme. And it's displaying the oxygen cursors atm as I don't feel like resetting it every time. richih@adamantium ~ % ls -l ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc -rw------- 1 richih richih 265 Apr 2 14:58 /home/richih/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc richih@adamantium ~ % cat ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc [$Version] update_info=mouse_cursor_theme.upd:kde3.4.99 [Keyboard] ClickVolume=0 KeyboardRepeating=true NumLock=0 RepeatDelay=200 RepeatRate=25 [Mouse] Acceleration=2 MouseButtonMapping=RightHanded ReverseScrollPolarity=false Threshold=4 cursorTheme=#kde_legacy# richih@adamantium ~ %
Ok, it appears that at some point the "Legacy" theme, which is what you are using has broken.
Anything I can do to help fixing/debugging? FWIW, when I change away from & back to the classic theme, it works.
Yup, looks like a bug in kapplymousetheme, as it doesn't know about the KDE Classic (aka #kde_legacy#) theme (which is done in code rather than in images on disk) Fredrik: can you please take a look? Your name seems to be on the source code in question...
Is there anything I can do to fix this locally? It's a rather annoying bug to me I have problems seeing the Oxygen cursors in all situations.

This bug is still existing. I can confirm it for KDE SC 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and the new KDE 4.10. Tested under Kubuntu 11.04-12.10 and Debian Wheezy on diffrent machines. The bug is independent from the theme you prefer to use. After log out, the cursor theme is set back to the default theme. In my case "Oxygen White" (Kubuntu). This bug should have higher priority, with this bug the cursor theme is nearly unnecessary.
I believe I have the same bug, or at least a very similar one: after setting the cursor theme to "kde legacy", whenever I open a new KDE application and hover over its window, the cursor is reset to the default one on that window. Eventually it gets replaced everywhere. I'm using KDE Mint 14.
Bug seems to be fixed with 4.11 !
