[Bug 859344] [NEW] Cursor theme not being used for the selection cursor

 

Public bug reported:

When a custom cursor theme is set for GNOME, GTK+ 3 apps do not use the
theme's selection cursor (i.e. the "normal" cursor, used for selection,
pointing, etc). What looks like the selection cursor from the default
cursor theme is used instead. The custom theme's cursors are used for
most (every?) other cursor, for example resizing windoes or hovering
over a link.

This does not occur in GTK+2 apps.

This started happening after upgrading to oneiric, it was not an issue
under Natty+GNOME3 PPA.

To reproduce:
  1. apt-get install dmz-cursor-theme
  2. gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme DMZ-AA
  3. notice in GTK+ 3  apps the selection cursor is white, all other cursors are black.

** Affects: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
