However, this feature doesn't work on Wayland.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start Wayland session
2. open system settings > Cursors
3. hover over any cursor of any cursor theme

OBSERVED RESULT
nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
preview should work like on X11

Use Qt to set cursor preview and make it work for wayland

No need for X specific fiddling, Qt will do the right thing.
