I'm using Gnome 2.32.1 in X11. My mouse pointers have all acquired unwanted borders. That is to say, where there used just to be a solid black arrow, it is now surrounded by a black outline enclosing a white outline around the arrow. I don't like this! I didn't ask for it! I first noticed this problem while starting Firefox. It seemed to hiccup a bit (I think), and then all pointers (in all applications) went bad. I've looked inside Gnome "preferences", but can't find a way to change the pointers back. I suspect this is an X setting rather than a Gnome one. Can anybody point me at a solution? TIA, -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
