Desktop 1.15.x version not respecting the current cursor theme

[jorgicio]

Description

I was trying the 1.15.x release candidates and it uses the default cursor theme instead the one set by desktop. This happens in KDE Plasma 5.18.x in Gentoo Linux.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Having installed the stable version 1.14.x and downloaded the zip with the 1.15.x version. (Also tried installing the 1.15.x and the issue is the same, so this is not much difference between both formats)
2. Run and tried both versions.
3. Only the 1.14.x respects the custom cursor theme, not the 1.15.x.

Actual result:

This happens in 1.14.x

And this in 1.15.x

Expected result:

Both versions should use the custom cursor theme if set.

Reproduces how often:

This happens always with both 1.15.x release candidates (1.15.69 and 1.15.70).

I am experiencing a similar issue. I am using Brave version 1.34.81, desktop Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.12 development (though I saw this as well on R14.0.11 stable), distro Devuen 4.0 codename "Chimaera" (based on Debuan 11.0 codename Bullseye).

In my case, while the cursor theme Brave wants to use is installed on my system, it is neither the system default nor the one I set my desktop to use; it seems as though Brave ignored both the system default and my preference and chose the very last cursor theme in the list of installed themes. The cursor theme Brave wants to use is tiny and white, which makes it extremely difficult to find on my large screen amidst a sea of lightly colored web sites.

Having this issue as well. It seems like adding my cursor to various places as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes#XDG_specification will temporarily fix it, but after a reboot it's using it's own cursor again. (from the looks of things the same one as in this post) Before it was using Adwaita I think, but I have zero clue what this cursor is and it's just god awful.
