Set the Sugar cursor in a non racy way

Severity: Major Keywords:

Bug Status: New

Description

We have a long history of setting the Sugar cursor with many races.

1) First, we tried to set the gnome cursor_theme to use the sugar one: http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/commit/23516911ebc21e9714f662a6c47cf385660a88b0

2) Because this broke the GNOME cursor when logging into GNOME we did reset the cursor once we logged into Sugar "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr" #1433 http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/commit/293a3fc5a11fb4309eba4414702570b778508f4f

3) We moved this code around since the "Alt+Space" shortcut was not working anymore, we do set the the cursor once the window-manager-changes for the shell window [#1476 http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/commit/b0520607503b0876020d5e764b1a98322a2bf949

4) we once more moved the code to supress a race condtion: #1371 http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/commit/26ba76b965984ddc8681a3c25ee075a6664c98ef

5)wrong cursor on welcome screen #10712

Let's try to fix this for good.

I posted a patch for this on the mailing list.

My patchset doesn't apply after not being reviewed for months. Redoing it all would take some point, but perhaps it's easier to apply just this bit.

Replying to dnarvaez:

Can you point me to "this bit"? Thanks :)
