>Description:
As noted by RVP in PR pkg/59768:
"1. /usr/xsrc/external/mit/xcursor-themes/ exists, but, is not being built.
So, no modern Xcursor themes are installed--even though the Xcursor library is.
2. /usr/pkg/share/icons probably should be appended to ICONDIR/XCURSORPATH/...
in /usr/src/external/mit/xorg/lib/libXcursor/Makefile so that pkgsrc-installed
themes can be found."
>How-To-Repeat:
As above. Users may be surprised by aspects of this. (In the case of
Firefox, also due to upstream issues.)
>Fix:
As above.
