What's wrong with using PNG or MNG as a cursor? If X11 (XFree86, I guess) has limitation - that XFree86 should be fixed, not KDE/Konqueror. P.S. as MS IE has support for PNG, I guess Microsoft can implement support for cursors in PNG format, too. -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
