cursor: does not respect xresources target on home-manager

[connor-grady]

I assert that this feature request is relevant for Stylix

• [x] I assert that this is not a duplicate of an existing feature request.

Description

When using the stylix.cursor option with home-manger, it sets home.pointerCursor.x11.enable = true, which tramples over the stylix.targets.xresources option if that is set to false. I suspect it may also do the same thing for gtk, but I'm not sure.

Yes:

which tramples over the stylix.targets.xresources option if that is set to false.

What do you mean by "tramples over"? Do you get a build error or incorrect run time behavior? Which of these declarations could be related to the problem:

At the moment, cursor theming is not part of any target and is globally either on or off. This doesn't match how we handle everything else. Ideally the existing cursor.nix would be broken down into configElements on each of the relevant targets
