[SOLVED] Problem w/ Plasma-desktop with Asp: Rogue Cursor Changes

I wanted to compile my KDE Plasma desktop (among other packages such as Xorg, etc) with heavier optimization (-O3 -march=native -mtune=native flag, etc) and used Clang for doing so.

However, after all was said and done and I rebooted my system, I found that having desktop icons on the screen (.desktop files in the "desktop folder") caused the mouse to change from Oxygen (the selected mouse theme) to Adwaita if placed to the right of them, like so:

cursor right
cursor left

And interacting with GTK elements, be it drop-downs; context menus; application title borders for any application (even QT ones); the Plasma Application Launcher (even though this is not GTK-based); GTK applications (such as Lutris) causes this as well:

I had edited my makepkg.conf like this:

I had also edited PKGBUILDs for related things like Kwin, and the like, but all with basically identical edits to the build() function.

I have no clue what's going on to cause this strange behavior, given that these are supposed to be release-tagged builds and not "git" builds, when pulling PKGBUILDs from Asp; they should theoretically be near-identical in functionality. :/

(For reference, in case anyone thinks to ask, I have an AMD zen2 processor (3700X) and an Nvidia GPU)

Re: [SOLVED] Problem w/ Plasma-desktop with Asp: Rogue Cursor Changes

Please replace the oversized images (the board max is 200x200) w/ links (and thumbnails or not) and never post screenshots of text (like your system info) - post the text.

On topic: please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes
The clients read that config from all over the place (unfortunately) - I assume plasma tries to augment that (eg. withexporting a custom path for ~/.config/gtk-3.0)
But I can't say why that would fail w/ your custom build - ideally post the diffs for the build config changes you made.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem w/ Plasma-desktop with Asp: Rogue Cursor Changes

Sorry about the image sizes, I'll find a way to resize them and remove that last bit you didn't like; my screen resolution is high so the images came out big.

This would be the differences between the PKGBUILDs:

Re: [SOLVED] Problem w/ Plasma-desktop with Asp: Rogue Cursor Changes

I managed to figure out how to fix it thanks to your link; I don't understand why it only now decided to obey the system-wide default setting when it didn't do that before though (not to mention why it decided to do it in the manner it did because it shouldn't have).

Not sure if this is a bug or what?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem w/ Plasma-desktop with Asp: Rogue Cursor Changes

Unless it's coinicdental, the O1/O2 matches are very broad (short search string) - you may have accidental matches and invalidate relevant values (ie. not the optimization but some paths)
Alternatively the aggressive optimizations trigger or expose a bug (eg. whatever KDE/ksmserver uses to write the cursor setting crashes or misbehaves)

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
