Do you mean make it look at XDG_DATA_DIRS or make it to look into index.theme?

As per https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5388 discusison it seems they have no interest in either but getting the former should be easy (basically call get_cursor_theme recursively with default as theme name before the last wl_cursor_theme_create fallback, with strcmp(name, "default") condtion).

The latter requires implementing cursor theme merging in gtk as it basically lacks it, they extracted only very minimalistic part they need from wayland-cursor.

That could be really easily solved by symlinking... I honestly don't really understand what's the problem with runCommand given that e.g. fonts module uses it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/config/fonts/fontdir.nix
