List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:2784 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:2784 I don't know why I've never mentioned this before. Perhaps because there are more important things. Anyway, I don't like the crosshairs used by default for sensitive text, e.g., customise buttons or dired filenames. (Naturally, a long time ago I set x-sensitive-text-pointer-shape in my ~/.emacs.) All other GUIs I use use a pointer or a hand (web browsers). It looks like tool-bar-mode uses a pointer for buttons. I think, if this variable is nil, some other cursor should be used. I suggest that x_set_mouse_color defaults cross_cursor to XC_left_ptr. Alternatives are XC_hand1 or XC_hand2. WDYT? Simon.
