Can confirm. Everything about this seems to be broken. :/
Comment 2 Alexander Lohnau 2022-05-17 05:22:53 UTC 
Yeah, we have two major regressions in the KCM :(
Comment 3 Alexander Lohnau 2022-05-17 05:28:11 UTC 
This is a regression from https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1233. I assume we have a too old version of the related X-dependencies installed.

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1746

Revert "Change cursortheme installpath from ~/.icons to XdgTargetDir/icons"

This reverts commit e26425e573189eeac704d3633f3c4ce38f1cc5fe.

The KCM does not always include the install folder in the search paths.

As discussed in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1233, a revert is
the best option for the time being.
