Question: If I open gnome-tweak-tool, go to the Theme section and choose the DMZ-Black cursor theme, my default cursor stays exactly the same. However, the *other* cursor images (like when I move a window or hover over a link) are the correct ones from the DMZ-Black theme. The same happens if I choose the Adwaita theme, for example.

Does anyone know why this is? How can I completely change my cursor theme so that the default cursor is also changed?

Answer: 
For 11.10
=========

Run `dconf-editor`  

(either Alt+F2 or from terminal, must be installed first)

```
/org/gnome/gnome-session/    

```

uncheck "logout-prompt"

I still haven't found a way to return restart to the menu and suppress that confirmation.

For 10.04/10.10 & 11.04
=======================

Run `gconf-editor`  

(either Alt+F2 or from terminal)

```
/apps/gnome-session/options    

```

uncheck "logout\_prompt"

```
/apps/indicator-session    

```

check "suppress\_logout\_restart\_shutdown"

This will remove the annoying dialog in releases preceding Oneiric Ocelot.
