 # respects its theming even when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not set to it
 # (through settings.ini).
 
+# Note that the xcursor size is specified with:
+#
+#   1. The X server resource database (xrdb), of which cursor size is
+#      only applied BEFORE your window manager starts
+#   2. The xsetroot command, which affects the cursor shown on the root
+#      window (your desktop)
+#   3. The XCURSOR_SIZE environment variable, which affects the current
+#      program
+#
+# There are a few things to take away from this:
+#
+#   1. The root window (desktop) cursor size MUST be changed with xsetroot
+#   2. KDE applications will honor XCURSOR_SIZE but NOT xsetroot
+#   3. GTK applications will honor xsetroot but NOT XCURSOR_SIZE
+#
+# Additionally,
+#
+#   4. SOME X applications require XCURSOR_SIZE to be set and will NOT
+#      honor xsetroot
+#   5. SOME X applications require xsetroot to be set and will NOT
+#      honor XCURSOR_SIZE
+#
+# So for a consistent variable cursor DPI environment, one has to set BOTH
+# xsetroot and XCURSOR_SIZE
+#
+# Note that existing windows will NOT have their X cursor size changed
+# if they don't depend on xsetroot. Because of this, and because of the
+# fact that active windows will not handle DPI changes anyway, you should
+# probably have no GUIs running when switching DPI.
