mouse cursor and mozilla-but-really-metacity bug

[Justin Georgeson]

I used up2date to install sawfish, to test out the bug listed below with 
a different window manager, turns out to be metacity is the culprit. 
After confirming this, the software mouse cursor is no longer the 
translucent one with a shadow. I still get the animated hourglass while 
gdm is loading, but it quickly changes to a plain black mouse cursor. 
Anyone know how to fix this? To install sawfish up2date grabbed two 
extra RPMs to meet dependencies, rep-gtk and something else, but I 
didn't write it down. Anyone know what that might be?

Also, does anyone think there's a chance of this getting fixed if I 
submit a bug report against metacity? The problem also exists in firebird.

Nobody knows how to get the mouse cursor back?

It's not a metacity bug, I added a comment to the mozilla.org report.
GNOME, KDE, Windows, Mac all put dialogs on top of their main window. If
a window doesn't belong there it probably isn't a dialog and Mozilla
shouldn't mark it as such. In any case 500 other things will break if
you don't keep dialogs on top, so this has to be fixed in Mozilla if
it's changed.
