[Sugar-devel] Activity

[kushagra nigam]

Dear Sir,

You are indeed right! However after tinkering with the Sugar files, I got
to know that cursor theme of the instance Gio.Settings changes the cursor
theme of the GNOME Desktop but does not affect the Default folder
(/usr/share/icons/default) which contains the settings of the default
cursor theme which you have set. So changing the cursor theme to default in
the function _start_window_manager helps and works!

I started by taking a global variable of initial settings and then
re-applying those settings before the exit of Sugar. This was absolutely
right but I discovered/observed something easier later! :-)

I have edited the main.py file and created a pull request.

Sincerely
Kushagra Nigam
