How to change cursor theme for QT apps on Gnome Shell Opensuse 131

After you install Opensuse 13.1 Gnome Shell, you may notice the default cursor theme is Adwaita or DMZ-AA / DMZ Black, while QT apps use another theme - DMZ (white).

So, to make Skype, VLC (and all other QT apps) use the default Awaita theme (or the theme you want) on Opensuse Gnome, edit the following file and type the theme you want (in my case, I make all the apps use the black DMZ / Adwaita cursor theme):

# nano /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager
Find line

X_MOUSE_CURSOR="DMZ"

Change DMZ to DMZ-AA (or for the name of your theme of choice). Save changes.

Logout. Login. Now you see the cursor you want in Skype and other QT apps.
