I mean that lightdm triggers something at least in GTK2/3. Even opera's own toolkit which reuses somehow GTK (if u tell it to do so) isn't affected.
I can confirm that about LEFT_PTR also. I can change mouse theme in xfce4 but LEFT_PTR is unchanged. Also before LightDM there was LXDM. And before that was slim (and qingy ). GDM never was an option since it was overbloated. and since LightDM uses mouse - it's its job to theme cursor properly and do not taint user space. lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf -> cursor-name=Obsidian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024482 Title: Mouse cursor theme does not change from default after login Status in Light Display Manager: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: When using LightDM to login to a GNOME Shell session, the mouse cursor's appearance does not change from what it is in the lightdm login screen (black pointer from default X theme). Any custom mouse cursor theme actually does apply within any open application windows, but hovering the cursor over the window title bar, the root window, or the Shell interface changes it back to the default black pointer, leading to an inconsistent appearance.
