- My mouse pointer can take 6 different forms on my screen:
-
- 1.white,ugly Windows arrow when on the XVision title bar
- 2.black,normal arrow when on the twm title bars and icons
- 3.insert-text-cursor-thing inside an xterm
- 4.double vertical arrow on the xterm scrollbars
- 5.pointing hand on the twm iconify box
- 6.black X on the twm root window
-
- There is one small vertical strip on my screen where I can
- watch all five changes occur in quick succession. This has
- become my new preferred method of driving myself into a
- catatonic state.
