[Bug 2019524] [NEW] update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme - cursor/theme problem

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Hello,

For ubuntu-bug I have no idea what 'update-alternatives' is related to,
so I am reporting this manually.

My system specs:

Ubuntu 23.04
Gnome 44.0

It's my understanding that the command;

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

Will allow you to change a cursor theme. When I pick one, and I restart
my system, it doesn't change the mouse cursor theme.

Also, it's my understanding, that every cursor theme installed in Ubuntu
is suppose to be listed with this command.

But if I go to /usr/share/themes & /usr/share/icons these are all the
ones installed, so I don't understand why they are not listed in update-
alternatives.

/usr/share/themes$ ls

I'm attaching a screen shot of update-alternatives that shows you only 7
entries.
