This sounds like a wayland based thing, not a distrobox "bug".

I am using a Podman Fedora39 Distrobox and installed Firefox there. My host is Fedora Kinoite KDE without Firefox installed, using the Breeze cursor theme.

I could need some help to

• get the cursor to use the breeze theme (breeze-cursor-theme is installed but the default GNOME cursor is still used)
• get KDE Decorations in Firefox

I already did that:

sudo dnf install -y breeze-cursor-theme

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'breeze-cursor'

No change in Firefox

install the same cursor theme in the container can fix it
