Cursor theme can't be set as the default cursor theme of X11 #22

Thanks for this nice theme.

The cursor theme can't be set as the default X11 cursor theme because the Inherits option in the [Icon Theme] section in cursor.theme doesn't match the directory name containing the theme. This makes it impossible to use this cursor theme in LightDM GTK+ greeter.

Setting Inherits to Suru++ instead of Suru solves the problem.

For the cursor theme to be used by default by X11, it has to be set as the alternative for x-cursor-theme with the following commands:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme x-cursor-theme /usr/share/icons/Suru++/cursor.theme 0
sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

HI @CutterXYZ,

This current version is buggy. The new version of Suru++ Alpha which will be merged into this repositoru tomorrow, will not include the cursors.

I recommend you to use Sam Hewitt's cursor theme.

I have just release the new version of Suru++. And the cursor theme is not included. If you want to use that cursor theme, you can unify this new version with Sam Hewitt's Suru icons.
