New issue 392 by magnus.therning: gnomeConfig in XMonad.Config.Gnome messes  
with the Gnome settings for mouse pointer
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=392

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Change the mouse pointer to a pretty one, using Gnome's config utilities.
2. Use 'main = xmonad gnomeConfig' in your xmonad.hs
3. Make sure to log out and then back in again.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the left pointer to be the pretty one I configured it to be in
Gnome.  Instead it's set to the default, ugly X11 pointer.  (All other
pointer types are unaffected.)

Currently it's left to each user to fix this, by e.g. using

     main = xmonad $ gnomeConfig { startupHook = gnomeRegister >>
ewmhDesktopsStartup }

That seems rather silly to me.  Surely the default config for use on Gnome
should leave the pointer configuration to match what the user configured in
Gnome.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
% pacman -Q xmonad xmonad-contrib
xmonad 0.9.1-3
xmonad-contrib 0.9.1-2

Arch Linux
