Dear Maintainer,

Installing the big-cursor package does not change the mouse
pointers for several window managers including fvwm and
icewm.

I consider this a high priority, because users with vision
issues need to be adapt Debian to their requirements without
having to explore the many web pages with incomplete and
conflicting recommendations.


The recommended method for manually selecting mouse pointers
is:

update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

However after installing big-cursor, the above command
doesn't offer big-cursor as a choice.

Here are the changes required to fix this issue.

1. Support update-alternatives

The big-cursor package should include a file:

	/usr/share/icons/big-cursor/index.theme

containing this content:

	[Icon Theme]
	Inherits=big-cursor

2. Automatically select big-cursor

The post-install routine should link /etc/update/alternatives/x-cursor-theme
to /usr/share/icons/big-cursor/index.theme.

3. Tell the user how to manually select the big-cursor theme

The post-install routine and/or
/usr/share/doc/big-cursor/README.debian should say:

	In order to activate the big-cursor theme, run the command

	update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

	and select big-cursor

Thank you for your attention

Hi,

It is currently served as a replacement of cursor.pcf.gz in X11 fonts,
and to use it, set your x-cursor-theme to core.theme.

And the size of other cursor themes is changeable, and there's
currently no Debian way to change the cursor size.
To change it, create a file in /etc/X11/Xresources/ or ~/.Xresources
and have a line with
Xcursor.size: 48

According to Adwaita cursor theme, currently legit options for cursor
sizes are 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px and 96px.

Thanks,
Yao Wei
