There was a problem with Adwaita-icon-theme creating an unwanted symlink : see Bugs 543488 + 543902 (March-April 2015). That has been stopped, but these icons + cursors are now being enforced in all Gtk+ apps, eg Firefox Gvim. I don't mind the icons, but don't like the cursors. The solution is simple : delete or rename /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/Adwaita/ , when those apps will use the normal X11 cursors instead. Why Adwaita is a requirement for Gtk+ is beyond me, but anyone else who doesn't like it can easily avoid the results.
