This change breaks the cursor on my system (Kubuntu), because the XCURSOR_PATH
is set to the invalid value /snap/alacritty/135/usr/share/icons
.
The result is that the Alacritty window then uses the default fallback X11 cursor theme.
This should address #21.
Unless I'm missing something, this environment variable (
XCURSOR_PATH
) is set by thedesktop-launch
wrapper that comes from thesnapcraft-desktop-helpers
set of utilities in order to match the base theme on the workstation; unsetting this variable here undoes that work, and it leads to Alacritty using a white mouse cursor instead of falling back to the default cursor that would be expected (Yaru in most cases).I think that if someone wanted to modify this behavior (I noticed that this line was originally added to "respect user customization"), they should address it upstream in snapcraft-desktop-helpers, where
XCURSOR_PATH
is being modified without appending/preppending, but not in Alacritty.I've tested these changes locally and they seems to fix the cursor issue. Let me know what you think, or if I missed something in this!
