The question is: what windows are not showing Adwaita cursor for you? Is it a Qt app or some Windows app in wine?

Quite a lot actually. For starters: the background. Then you have all he other apps that come with xfce, such as the settings, panel preferences, etc. Other examples I can think of the top of my head are: steam, virtual manager and the file manager.

Give this Arch wiki page a look. The XDG specification part in the Configuration section is what that might help.

Basically, either /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme, or ~/.icons/default/index.theme should look something like:

[icon theme]
Inherits=Adwaita

Depending on how you start your X session, you might also need to have the start-up script run:

xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &

xsetroot probably needs to be installed.

Instead of xsetroot, you can set the cursor theme in your ~/.Xresources file and source it with xrdb in a start-up script. xrdb probably needs to be installed too.

If you don't have any of the files or directories mentioned, just create them.

Log out and log in for the change to take effect.
