Also, eyes in each of four panels are by far the easiest way for
my ancient eyeballs to find the mouse cursor; and the current setup has
no eyes at all, afaict.
Clue, please?
The nearest thing I can think of is "xeyes". With help from other members of
this list, I installed "xeyes" on my workstation w-a-a-a-y back in 2013.
"xeyes" is a part of "X.Org X11 applications":

If you don't already have it, just install it using dnf. The executable will be
"/usr/bin/xeyes". The 2013 Fedora users list thread on this is here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.o...
Note that back then, we used "yum" instead of "dnf".
Now if only someone could tell me how to get "xsnow" working properly in Gnome
and KDE!
Good luck.
Bill.
