[Wayland-bugs] [Bug 744932] Wrong (ultra tiny/small) cursor size on HiDPI screen

--- Comment #40 from Jasper St. Pierre <jstpierre at mecheye.net> ---
I consider nested X11 a developer tool only, so we haven't given it the real
attention and split it out to a "true" backend. Things like barriers and input
settings really shouldn't be running as nested X11 either.

Note that I already have an enum here for what you call "running mode" to cut
down on the "meta_is_wayland_compositor" in the backend code.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/tree/src/backends/x11/meta-backend-x11.c#n49

But personally, I don't care enough about the nested code -- it's not
production, it's development and testing only, and as long as it's not too
messy, let's not overcomplicate things. I'm fine with having nested not use a
X11 cursor and instead always draw it ourselves, for instance. It's why we call
XFixesHideCursor even in nested mode. If you don't like that you don't have a
cursor sometimes, move your mouse back over the nested window enough that it
shows again, and then alt-tab to another window.

If you feel really encouraged to fix this, feel free, but I've just not
bothered.
