Bug Description

By default, the CursorThemeName entry in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml is unset. It's from this setting that the snaps get the cursor theme to use. As it's empty by default, there is no cursor theme and programs in snaps use a strange theme, with a black normal cursor and a left pointing white hand on links.
