Support Xcursor in Xlib |
|

libX11 contains support for runtime loading of libXcursor. Without this
support, programs that use Xlib’s mouse cursor routines, such as XTerm, do not
follow the mouse cursor theme as determined by the Xcursor.theme resource and
XCURSOR_THEME environment variable. This is in fact very noticeable and
annoying.
How to reproduce:
1. Start XTerm.
2. Notice that the mouse cursor looks totally different from everything else.
XTerm uses several mouse cursors: one for the text area, one for scrollbar, one
for the menus, and they all stand out like a sore thumb.
3. Put libxcursor into LD_LIBRARY_PATH and start XTerm again.
4. Notice that the Xcursor theme is honoured.
This probably cannot be resolved by referencing libXcursor in libX11 because
that would introduce a circular dependency.
The best solution I can think of is merging the libxcursor package into libx11.
It is essentially a plugin.

Nope, it wasn't.
But I fixed the fix in bug# 54680. Thanks!
