[Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar] Make sure we use the Sugar cursor in the intro screen, OLPC #10712

[Sascha Silbe]

Excerpts from Simon Schampijer's message of 2011-10-18 17:37:17 +0200:
> As stated in the ticket Metacity sets the cursor after
> it's startup, so we need to make sure Metacity is already
> running before we set the cursor. This is what the current
> code has been doing. We do show the intro screen before
> the window manager may be available. For a non invasive
> bug fix that avoids races we just call 'xsetroot -cursor_name'
> another time before the intro screen is displayed.

> We have a long history of setting the Sugar cursor with many

> follow up.

A slightly different version of this patch (cosmetical changes only) was
ack'ed by me on #sugar and pushed as 7ca64e37 [1] (master) resp. 9a4e66c
[2] (sucrose-0.94).
