How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

r4.1

Brief summary

Cursor change support is added in #1551. However, it doesn't work with electron-based apps. Other applications, like GTK-based or Firefox work as intended with correct mouse cursor shape on hovering text and buttons.

Steps to reproduce

  1. install arch linux in AppVM
  2. install electron, code with pacman

Expected behavior

The mouse cursor should change when hovered over text or buttons.

Actual behavior

The mouse cursor is always the same inside electron-based apps.

#7409 is probably related to this also because Electron is Chromium based

This issue affects chromium based browser, I have tested Google Chrome, Brave, and Ungoogled, using the Debian 11 template.

If you hover a link, the cursor doesn't change to indicate it's a clickable object, making it more difficult to use some websites.
