** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ In a Wayland session, changing the desktop cursor theme to anything
+ other than Yaru or Adwaita results in a pale grey square as the cursor.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ 1. Log into a Wayland session.
+ 2. Download Gnome Tweak Tool.
+ 3. In the Tweaks app under Appearance, select DMZ-white or Redglass cursor
theme.
+ 4. Move the cursor over various window edges such that the cursor shape
should change.
+ 5. Verify the cursors you see are the expected ones and not just a grey
square.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ Since the entire cursor selection stack changed both in the lead up to
+ this bug and in fixing it, any aspect of the mouse pointer (cursor)
+ selection logic could be affected. In any app, in both Xorg and Wayland
+ sessions.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ The Xorg version of this issue is bug 2062377.
+
+ [ Original description ]
+
After upgrading from Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04, the DMZ-White mouse pointer
works correctly when the pointer is over a window, but shows a pale grey
square when over the desktop or Ubuntu top bar. This appears to happen
because the /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors/default file (or symlink)
is missing. Doing the following appears to fix the problem:
1. cd /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors
2. ln -s left_ptr default
3. In gnome-tweaks change to some other mouse pointer.
4. In gnome-tweaks change back to DMZ-White.
