SUMMARY
the cursor is not consistent when changing it from settings, the desktop cursor is the same thing
(there is a short video attached)

2. change to a different cursor 
3. go to the desktop 

OBSERVED RESULT
the destop cursor does not change 


EXPECTED RESULT
the desktop  cursor changes to the new cursor ( this also happens to the about page as shown in the picture and sometimes when hovering above icons )
