Description Pulfer 2015-04-14 11:18:43 UTC 
Cursor themes from xcursor-themes (wonderland etc, http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/data/ ) are not fully supported by Plasma 5 KWin. For example, mouse cursor doesn't change when trying to resize windows. It's a regression compared to KDE Workspace 4.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Pulfer 2015-04-14 11:55:08 UTC 
There's "QString XCursorTheme::findAlternative(const QString &name) const" function in plasma-desktop/kcms/input/xcursor/xcursortheme.cpp , it handles xcursor names to match Qt/KDE cursor names. Maybe KWin needs something like that too.
Comment 2 Thomas Lübking 2015-04-14 13:25:25 UTC 
Very much likely dupe, thus fixed in 5.3 - you may either check whether the shape resolution in http://commits.kde.org/kwin/e2c422dcb54317acc42ca252d449f096ad78d7ea matches your needs or list the contents of your theme.

Indeed, seems to be fixed in master already.

Well, not really a duplicate of #344006. This issue is about missing alternatives, not about broken cursor.
