As discussed on the forum, a typical GNOME 3 install on Arch Linux doesn't use proper GNOME 3 cursors, but instead the default cursors that come with X.org

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116787

According to the posters, Fedora ships a /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file containing:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Adwaita

It would be nice to have GNOME 3 cursors working properly by default on Arch Linux.
This task depends upon

please refer to that report. i don't want to use hacks and instead i want to see a proper fix since the cursor has the right theme in firefox and thunderbird.

this is a bug in metacity/mutter which still reads the cursor theme from gconf and is not set.

Isnt this fixed? The cursor i have here is pretty modern, not the spartan X default.
