The way to install an icon theme permanently is, from what I can see, to untar the cursor theme in ~/.icons, and make a symlink to it with the name default. I don't think there is UI for that. This probably depends on capabilities which may or may not be present in Sun's X server. -- m -- Mariano Suárez-Alvarez <msuarezalvarez arnet com ar> http://www.gnome.org/~mariano
