With unity we don't have adwaita installed. ## skip here - solved. Set custom values for x-cursor with: sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme In Precise it doesn't reflect the custom value. Currently selected 'white-glass', dconf-editor still says 'dmz-white'. (screenshot) In Oneiric it does reflect custom value.
