Can't change mouse/cursor theme

[Neil Bird <neil fnxweb com>]

  I updated from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 over the weekend, and now I can't 
change my pointer theme.  I'm stuck using its dmz-aa.  I tried asking on the 
Fedora list, but haven't had any joy, so I'm asking here, as I think it's 
something to do with GNOME (or GTK) squirrelling away the theme somewhere.

  The pointer preferences still show my custom pointer choice, it's just 
not being used.  Well, mostly.  Within Firefox and Thunderbird windows, my 
custom pointer is showing up.  But window borders, the [nautilus] desktop 
and most apps only show the dmz-aa pointer.

  Oddly, Thunderbird and Firefox show the correct mouse theme in their windows.


  This seems to be an interaction with GNOME and openbox, which I run in 
preference to metacity.  If I switch to metacity, the pointer seems to be 
set correctly in most places.

  I say most places:  under metacity, Firefox and Thunderbird show the 
mouse at twice its expected size.


   I can't find a ref. to dmz under ~/.gconf (but I can find my custom
pointer selection: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme I think).


  What is it that might be changing the mouse theme for most windows?  I 
feel it has to be GTK/GNOME, as the version of openbox I'm using is my own 
build and hasn't changed as part of the upgrade.
