LXQt cursor setting doesn't work after an Arch/Manjaro upgrade

I found that, with /usr/share/icons/default/cursors existing, creating ~/.local/share/icons/default/cursors wasn't a real solution because the cursor reverted to Adwaita when the pointer was on KWin's title-bar. What really worked was ~/.icons/default/cursors as a symlink and then, a logout and login.

Anyway, with the above-mentioned change, LXQt Appearance Configuration shows "Default" as the selected cursor theme. That's not good.

Even if the creation of /usr/share/icons/default/cursors with default-cursors and the removal of /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme from libxcursor are Arch-specific decisions, the cursor setting code of LXQt Appearance Configuration may have a problem that's triggered by the existence of /usr/share/icons/default/cursors, because I didn't see any issue under KDE.

It remains to be seen whether this mess is created by GNOME devs (as usual) or Arch devs. In the first case, we'll have a headache sooner or later.

I see that package arriving now here, it that arch-specific? There's a bug report about it:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76713

it that arch-specific?

Yes, it is. But I still wonder why KDE has no problem with it.

[stefonarch]

No idea.

I've restarted the session, and I've "my" cursor only in GTK applications.

Going for rm /usr/share/icons/default/cursors atm.

The change has been reversed in default-cursors-2-1.
