Bug Description

When choosing the DMZ (Black) cursor theme as part of any appearance customization, the theme is a mix of the default pointer, some DMZ (Black) cursors, and some DMZ (White) cursors. I've replicated the bug on multiple installations.

I can confirm this, the default pointer is white, but others are black.

The bug's still there in Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon.

"DMZ-White" is the default cursor theme which is set in `/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme`. When I change a theme via GUI, it works, but for some reason in some applications it falls back to default.

The workaround is to change the cursor theme by editing `~/.icons/default/index.theme`.

@nimms I think it's not a bug actually,
This might happening cause when we try to change the theme it applies at the user level and the root things are remaining same cause changing theme never asks for root password :).
May the developers has putted these features for security reasons
who knows!

@rudrik: it works just fine when you create `~/.icons/default/index.theme`.
It's in the home directory, so it doesn't require root rights at all.
And if it didn't apply to all the stuff when you change a theme from GUI,
relogin would fix it, but it doesn't.
