Description Leopard Blanc 2014-01-31 11:31:15 CET

The generated list of available cursor themes in:

  Applications menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Mouse and Touchpad

seems to be based on the folders:

/usr/share/icons
$HOME/.icons

but *not* on:

$HOME/.local/share/icons


If a symbolic link is made ("ln -s ~/.local/share/icons ~/.icons") then the cursor theme list is complete.

While not that important, it's not consistent with icon themes:

  Applications menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Appearance

which looks into ~/.local/share/icons without the need of a symbolic link.

Read $HOME/.local/share/icons while searching for cursor themes.

I think that this bug belong to Xfce4-settings. Anyway, I created a patch to solve the problem, now Xfce4-settings search also in $HOME/.local/share/icons when looking for cursor themes.
