Well, because apparently gnome used the system default, which is oxygen after installing kubuntu-desktop. If gnome has a configuration for that, then you can probably override this on a per user basis or globally via update-alternatives.
Since removing the oxygen cursor package does indeed change back to DMZ I am marking this bug as invalid. ** Changed in: kubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- Default mouse cursor does not revert when uninstalling Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-default-settings in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
