I assumed that the problem of the OP is not that s/he's not able to set a pointer theme. Maybe I was wrong in that assumption. If that's the case then this can be easily sorted out by opening the gnome control center as you said, and setting the mouse theme. There are many themes in the portage tree as well. It can be set manually in ~/.Xdefaults as well. OR just by putting the theme in /usr/share/icons/default/ or ~/.icons/default/, if my memory serves correctly. You can pick any mouse pointer theme from {gnome,kde}-look as well and install it as described. I have no idea if the default X pointer theme has changed lately. --=20 Jes=C3=BAs Guerrero Botella
