"In Gnome's 'Theme Preferences' program I select 'Theme Details' to
choose another icon set. Strangely all of the comix cursors appear in
the list as available icon themes. Of course selecting one of them has
no effect on the desktop icons..."

and

"I have been digging a bit into this - and found a workaround.
I somehow think that it is a bug in the gnome theme manager and its handling 
of index.theme files.

A index.theme now:
$ cat /usr/share/icons/ComixCursors-Black-Large/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Name=Comix Cursor Black Large Bold
Comment=The original Comix Cursors - Black Large Bold
Example=default

If I do a s/=/ = / - it does not appear any more in gnome theme manager.
$ cat /usr/share/icons/ComixCursors-Black-Large/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Name = Comix Cursor Black Large Bold
Comment = The original Comix Cursors - Black Large Bold
Example = default"
