[Solved] Disable the busy icons of cursor

Hi, folks!

I've again run into a problem: I'm using PCManFM as my file manager. I'm using Audacious as my music player. If I switch to another file by double-clicking on it through PCManFM, while Audacious is playing, it will immediately play the new file but there will remain an icon near the cursor that show's that the pc is busy (a circle near the cursor) and it will disappear in about ~20s. That is extremly annyoing. I don't want to browse for every file through Audacious.

So, how can I disable this stupid annyoing icon?

There is nothing more democratic than a TV. You can turn it on, change the channel, and turn it off.

Come on, is there really no way? Where are the developers?

Most of them are on the mailing list

For your problem, it's more a PCManFM issue, so try on theirs mailing list ?

Xfce is NOT Xubuntu. Bugs in Xubuntu don't mean that Xfce is buggy ...

That should be a pcmanfm (or even audacious) 'issue', so nothing specific to Xfce.
- edit: but thinking about it, I think that disabling 'StartUpNotify=true' in a desktop file should disable the busy cursor so check if that line is present in /usr/share/applications/audacious.desktop and change it to false.

That StartUpNotify thing wiped the problem.

Thank you.

Eureka!
In my case for vlc.desktop, but as a close to German it is my vocation to do a fussy correction: It is "StartupNotify" not "StartUpNotify", brothers and sisters!
