nevaforget 6ff21d69d5 fix(desktop): point ~/.icons/default at the cursor theme
Steam gets XCURSOR_THEME from the session variables and still drew the
core pointer: parts of it resolve the theme literally named 'default'
instead of reading the variable. Xcursor looks that name up along
XCURSOR_PATH, where ~/.icons comes first, so a link there covers those
lookups as well.
