There is an alternative more generic solution to this problem, and all other related to what XSettings did in the past. If we'd end up introducing a protocol like this, we might end up with many tiny protocols for things previously covered by XSettings. Cursor things, font things, and what not. Add

[PATCH wayland-protocols] unstable: add xcursor-configuration

2018-10-18 Thread Simon Ser
Clients are responsible for loading and setting cursors. For this purpose they often use XCursor images via the libwayland-cursor library. However clients have no way to know the user's preferred theme and size. This results in inconsistent cursors across clients (e.g. cursor growing bigger when en
