Opera is Qt, that might explains. Do you have other examples?

Maybe, but we can't really know since there was no information on that
bug it's a bit hard to tell.

When you login with gdm3, is the cursor theme correctly set? I have to
admit I fail to see how the login manager could be relevant here, since
it just starts the session, but I'll try to reproduce with Xfce.
