Oh, good, not our imagination! Kidding, I know it's not. :)

I had to fight the urge to write to myself AGAIN on here yesterday. As
fast as I hit "Send" (email), it hit my consciousness that my system
was advising me... that I only had one cursor theme installed.
*smacking head*

So I installed a second one, xcursor-themes. Mine's now *rarely* doing
this again via "redglass". The no-brainer regarding that change is
because it now has a secondary one to default back in to..

And it *was* about the title bar in my case. The more system
stable/system [generated] title bar remains true to the newest chosen
cursor theme, but the context part of the window varies.

In my case in the last 24 hours, it has been about Chromium. I didn't
notice it occurring in anything else so far, but I haven't used much
of anything else except Chromium in that last 24 hours..

Cindy :)
