Description
Qt Wayland patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/46239/
X11 patch that copies the code from Wayland: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/200399/
Wayland/Weston patch that created this table (which was copied to Qt Wayland):
commit bd3f219344eec2706f0b5f2636201f90951fdc33 Author: Philipp Brüschweiler <blei42@gmail.com> Date: Tue Aug 21 20:36:16 2012 +0200 toytoolkit: try multiple names when loading cursors The correspondence between cursor functions and names of cursors has never been standardized. As a consequence, each cursor function can be represented as a cursor with one of several names. Be more robust when loading cursor by trying all known names that correspond to a cursor. This should fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50487 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52609 a bit more thoroughly. clients/window.c | 105 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 95 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)
The same commit links (from the source code) to the following attachment "list-of-x11-cursors.ods" -> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=67313 (an attachment for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290356).
The name lookup table from Weston clearly is incomplete as we can see by the following bug report: QTBUG-71296
KWin also has a table for this: https://cgit.kde.org/kwin.git/tree/cursor.cpp#n218 which looks more complete compared to what we currently have borrowed from Weston.

Add cursor resolving alternatives
The alternative names are taken from the xcursortheme kcm in
plasma-desktop. An example theme where they are needed is "dmz".
Basically everyone is just copying this table from other projects as this stuff has never been standardized. In Qt, we should at least share this code between X11 and Wayland so our platform plugins are in sync.
It is probably worth checking also how GTK is handling this.
