If you installed KDE in ubuntu (GNOME based), you may have noticed that when you log back into GNOME, you keep the KDE cursor theme.
To fix this, use update-alternatives like so:
0025|z@zentury ~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme There are 7 choices for the alternative x-cursor-theme (providing /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /etc/X11/cursors/oxy-white.theme 50 auto mode 1 /etc/X11/cursors/core.theme 30 manual mode 2 /etc/X11/cursors/handhelds.theme 20 manual mode 3 /etc/X11/cursors/oxy-white.theme 50 manual mode 4 /etc/X11/cursors/redglass.theme 20 manual mode 5 /etc/X11/cursors/whiteglass.theme 20 manual mode 6 /usr/share/icons/DMZ-Black/cursor.theme 30 manual mode 7 /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursor.theme 50 manual mode Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
press “7″ for the default
