<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Sir, <br></div><div><br></div><div>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! </div><div><br></div><div>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! :-)<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have edited the main.py file and created a pull request.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely</div><div>Kushagra Nigam</div><div><a href="mailto:kushagra1998@gmail.com">kushagra1998@gmail.com</a><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 25 Mar 2019 at 06:11, James Cameron <<a href="mailto:quozl@laptop.org">quozl@laptop.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Yes, the Sugar cursor affects the GNOME desktop environment.<br>
<br>
This is caused by<br>
<a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/src/jarabe/main.py#L205" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/src/jarabe/main.py#L205</a><br>
where the GNOME desktop cursor theme is changed to the Sugar theme.<br>
<br>
Workaround is to use gsettings to change cursor-theme in<br>
org.gnome.desktop.interface back to what it was. Yes, you can use<br>
dconf to reset all settings, but that has many side-effects.<br>
<br>
If this problem bothers anyone who wants to fix it, the fix I'm<br>
interested in seeing is;<br>
<br>
* read the value of cursor-theme before changing it in the<br>
_start_window_manager function,<br>
<br>
* keep the Gio.Settings instance instead of deleting at end of the<br>
_start_window_manager function,<br>
<br>
* restore the old value in the _stop_window_manager function.<br>
<br>
This should fix the problem for future users.<br>
