    Angry Cursor doesn't change

    My mouse cursor won't change when i change it in the appearance editor.
    however, when it hovers above my firefox window, all of a sudden it shows the new cursor i picked. this is getting extremely annoying to me. i've been dealing with it for months.
    any help would be appreciated.

    How did you install the cursor theme? A simple reboot should do it after the installing of the cursor theme.

    If you're using Compiz effects, you have to set the cursor theme both in Appearances and in the Compiz General plugin.
