Public bug reported:
Before I start, it should be noted that I'm using the latest Kubuntu
Intrepid packages.
After downloading an X11 mouse theme from kde-look.org, I proceeded to
install it in system-settings. After installing the theme (bluecurve),
I found that only the main pointer and the background-busy cursors from
the theme were being used in KDE applications (GTK-based apps like
Firefox seem to respect the rest of the cursors just fine). Things like
the busy cursor, text select, hand pointer (for hyperlinks and such),
and window-resizing cursors all appeared to be displayed using Oxygen
counterparts when using KDE 4 applications.
I even went to the extreme of hacking kdm.conf and it's init.d script to
force X11 to use my chosen theme (by exporting XCURSOR_THEME), but even
in KDM, some of the Oxygen cursors persisted.
I've tried with several different themes from kde-look.org, all with
similar results. The only theme I've found to use all of it's own
cursors with all applications (KDE 4 and GTK apps) is the "KDE Classic"
theme.
Attached is a screenshot showing the system-settings window and that it
doesn't show all of the correct mouse cursors for the "Bluecurve" theme
even in the preview area.
