I'm using Windows Subsystem for Linux v2 (WSL2) to run Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on a Windows 11 host. See also:

When I invoke GUI apps within the Ubuntu VM—e.g., meld, gvim, etc., the GUI apps look fine: the windows are appropriately sized, the toolbar icons are the correct size, the text elements (e.g., menus) are sized correctly and readable, etc. However, the mouse pointer is always absurdly small. It doesn't matter which GUI application I invoke—i.e., this happens for GTK and non-GTK apps.
[Note 1. The mouse pointer is sufficiently sized—not too small or too large—when the pointer is positioned over a native Windows app window. –end note]
I've tried installing the package big-cursor on the Ubuntu VM, but the following command line does not change the mouse pointer size when the mouse is positioned above a GUI Linux app window (e.g., meld):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48[Note 2. After I issued the above command line I exited the VM, I shut down the VM via a Windows PowerShell command prompt, I waited 10 seconds, and then I restarted the VM. –end note]
Does anyone know how to change/specify the mouse pointer's size in this situation?
