Did you reboot after installing the new packages? It seems I forgot to
mention that.

Bug description:
  [ 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. sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
  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. Move the cursor over the top panel.
  6. 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.
