Cursor changed on me?
by Tom Horsley
Did some library just change to pick up cursor themes in a
different setting somewhere?
I've changed cursor theme in dconf-editor to say "Bluecurve"
(which I have installed), yet an strace of fvwm startup
shows it is now picking pointers from "Adwaita".
It was using Bluecurve not too long ago, so some recent
update changed the behavior.

Wow did I screw up! How can I fix this?
by Anthony
A little while ago, I tried to install Google Earth. It told me there
was a file conflict so I forced it. Then, I decided I didn't want it
and uninstalled it. Now, my external USB hard disk isn't mounting and
I can't make it mount at all.
It used to be I'd leave it plugged in and it would show up on my
desktop in an unmounted state. I'd click it and it would mount. Now,
it's nowhere to be found.
Did I just really screw up or is this reversable?
Thanks!
Anthony

my machine is suddenly extremely slow
by Frédéric Bron
Using Fedora 18, KDE 4.10.2 on x86_64 laptop with kernel 3.8.11-200
and nvidia proprietary drivers.
I have two hard disk. One SSD with / and swap and one hybrid with /home.
Recently, I remarked extremely long times (>60 s) to open some
programs like firefox or dolphin, the latter being the most critical.
I suspect disk access to slow down the machine as this happens when
the processor is nearly idle.
What can I check? Can I check the hard disks, how? Could it be something else?
Thanks for help,
Frédéric

Gnome desktop issues
by Jeffrey Ross
How do I reset my desktop back to what was there on a fresh install, or
am I better off creating a new home directory and simply moving my
"known" files back?
When I log in the screen flashes the icons (other accounts are fine) and
the CPU goes to 100% with the "tracker-extract" process
OS Fedora 16
Thanks, Jeff

Help auto-loading a graphic all at boot
by Saint Michael
Dear Friends
I have been unable to do something that should be very simple. I managed to
auto-login a non-root user, into the graphic environment, by adding some
information to /etc/gdm/custom.conf. But I need also to auto-launch a
graphic app, in this case Chrome, and that proves elusive . I believe that
this is a similar case to loading any graphic app into Gnome. Yes, I know
about the Gnome Preferences->StartUP Applications, but in this case, Chrome
loads but it is invisible. Does anybody have any idea how to accomplish
this simple task? I cannot believe that it would be impossible. I also
tried adding a line to rc.local, but it fails to load.
