Moin :) sometimes it happens after a new installation from latest packages that the KDE cursor settings are not completely taken over. For example: on desktop where the wallpaper is, i have the x11 default cursor while i have in the startmenu the KDE cursor that i have set from the KDE settings. I have created now a /usr/local/share/icons/default/index.theme to fix the problem but i think it should be reported anyway? - As always many thanks in advance and for the work that is done here.
How do you start Plasma? Using "startx" or some login manager?
I use the login manager sddm.
Can you please disable it and do the following: echo "exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11" >> ~/.xinitrc startx When Plasma is started, check if the problem goes away.
The problem still remains by starting the session with startx.
(In reply to Alexander Vereeken from comment #4) Ok, another thing to try - create a new user and start plasma under it. Does the problem persist?
