KDE gtk apps don't use kde mouse

I'm using Arch KDE packages, installed gtk-qt-engine and everything seems to work except the mouse. When I hover over applications like firefox or midori, the mouse changes to a default gnome theme, but when I hover over pidgin, it works fine using the kde mouse theme.

Any ideas?

Re: KDE gtk apps don't use kde mouse

I was having the same problem. It might have something to do with the latest update for LXappearance.

I edited the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file and changed the line "gtk-cursor-theme-name=(null)" so that instead of (null) it had the name of the kde cursor theme.

Re: KDE gtk apps don't use kde mouse

Why would lxappearance updates affect KDE theming ?

You might try putting that 'gtk-cursor-theme-name' in ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4
