Xming and gtk applications cursor problem

Asked by Kerer in X-Windows Window Manager, SSH / Telnet Software, Linux

Tags: xming ssh forwarding cursor xcursor

I am having an issue with Xming when I run an X application in windows with ssh forwarding.

The first time I execute setroot -cursor_name left_ptr de root window of the X server gets configured with the cursor of the file ~/.Xdefaults file.

When I run an X application the cursor vanished, then I run again setroot -cursor_name left_ptr and the cursor gets configured again. Next time I run an X application the cursor will remain.

The problem is that gtk applicattions need setroot -cursor_name left_ptr in order to show the cursor when the mouse is over the window so I always need to run an X application, for instance, xeyes and setroot -cursor_name left_ptr

The same happens using colinux.
That only happens when I run Xming with the -multiwindow option. Has anybody run into this problem?

Thanks.
