Hi Rob,
This isn't as easy as I thought it was.  I could have sworn we had more 
than one cursor set.  If anyone else wants to chime in feel free because 
I know I won't be able to get to it today.

Oh, Rob is using gnome, but after looking at this I believe people will 
have the same problem on kde.
