Hi Kristian,

isn't there a danger of that setting getting into X?
Of course, I'd put that somewhere under $HOME where libXcursor also
searches in.

Personally I'd like to change cursors in Weston and Weston only,
leaving my (host) X server using whatever it happens to be using now.
Yes, it makes the cursor change appearance between Weston-on-X and
other X apps, but that is what I'd like.

I didn't make it a weston.ini option, since toytoolkit clients do not
use an .ini by default. Or did I miss something?


Thanks,
pq
