Well, setting the cursor size isn't any useful if you have two monitors. I have it configured at resolution-dependent at the moment and sometimes I lose my cursor on my high dpi screen. If I use something bigger, when I move it to my external monitor I get a monstrosity. David mentioned at the sprint that we maybe should be correcting its scale on the kwin size, if it's not being scaled yet. Aleix
