Description Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2006-03-09 19:03:09 UTC

Whenever i log into a freshly upgraded machine, my cursor goes small. I traced it down to this change:

--- /home/seife/.kde/share/config/startupconfig	2006-02-01 21:15:52.000000000 +0100
+++ /home/seife/.kde/share/config/startupconfig#unisondiff-	2006-03-09 19:56:05.000000000 +0100

 # kpersonalizerrc General FirstLogin true

 # ksplashrc KSplash Theme ksplashx-suse

I do not know who is futzing around with this, but it is certainly very annoying.

Hmm, let me guess, you modified this file and it gets overwritten now and then? That's because this file is only an autogenerated cache, the real config file for each config value is mentioned in the comment line above.
If that's not the case then the "how to reproduce" section seriously lacks any details.

Comment 2 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2006-03-10 12:24:57 UTC

yes - i modified this by hand.

I now did the following:
seife@susi:~/.kde/share/config> diff -U5 /tmp/kcminputrc kcminputrc
--- /tmp/kcminputrc     2006-03-10 13:20:36.000000000 +0100

 [Mouse]
 MouseButtonMapping=RightHanded
 ReverseScrollPolarity=false
 cursorTheme=tuxcursor
+cursorsize=48

and will look how it goes; I _think_ i already had this some time ago and it vanished somehow - but this might be due to synchronizing of the $HOME to different machines and such.
Thanks for the hint ;-)
