#239223 — mouse pointer in changes unwanted

My mouse cursor does not follow 
update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme


I use sddm as display manager, when this is started I get my chosen big
green cursor but when I log in it changes to a small red
mouse pointer

When I start blackbox, the green one also changes to the red

adduser test
login as test 
the cursor stays green

When I logout and get back to sddm's login screen the cursor is again
the right, big green one


So is has to be some startup thing in my home directory

I checked the .X files, could find anything

I don't where els to look

Thanks!


update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

You didn't say what desktop environment you are using, e.g. XFCE,
Gnome, Cinnamon.

In XFCE, I have found it necessary to change the cursor in XFCE's
settings as well. settings-> mouse and touchpad-> theme

Does anybody read signatures any more?

It happens in fluxbox as well as in blackbox.
