Nope, sorry, here works. The name is correct according to the docs, I've 
checked in other popular themes, and they have the same name too. Can you 
please check if with DMZ it loads? If with it works, can you send me a 
tarball with your DMZ, plus the name of your distro? Does the clock work in 
other parts of the desktop, or gets picked up correctly by apps? Have you 
tried to log in and out?

In any case, while the cursor is drawn, I think I need fredrikh's help with 
the names, they are a real *mess*.

I've been reported by people that for them some resize cursors don't show up, 
for some in KDE 3, for some in KDE 4. For me both work. I need an Xorg 
insider to know what's going wrong here, I lack the knowledge in this field.

And yeah, let's wait post 4.0.0 to ship them.

Bye,
-Riccardo

P.S. we really need a cursor naming spec, artists who want to create new 
cursor themes will go crazy if the situation remains like this.
