I’m using a Linux computer, I’ve adjusted the pointer within Linux, but when I start Pencil2D the program ignores my settings and defaults to a ‘Windows’ type pointer!

HELP ME PLEASE! Because I struggling to see the pointer, especially when Pencil2D attempts to be helpful, by placing the pointer, to speed up the process!
