Here are some notes I cribbed from one of Keith Packard's posts
on this very subject. Hope you find them useful:
Xcursor is configurable via environment variables and X resources. It
should probably have a dot file too, just to keep up with other Unix
utilities.
(resource/environment variable): type...
Xcursor.core/XCURSOR_CORE bool
Whether to use core cursors exclusively, overriding any available
Render extension capability.
Xcursor.size/XCURSOR_SIZE int
Nominal size for cursors. Themed cursors can have multiple sizes
for each cursor, Xcursor picks the size closest to this size from
those available. If Xcursor adds SVG support, this size will be
used to scale the SVG objects.
Xft.dpi int
If Xcursor.size isn't set, then this value is used to compute the
nominal size = dpi * 16 / 72
Xcursor.theme/XCURSOR_THEME string
Name of theme. Xcursor uses the freedesktop.org icon theme
specification to locate cursor files; cursors live in one
of the icon directories in a cursors subdirectory. Xcursor
looks in the standard icon directories, along with
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons. It also parses the index.theme
file to follow Inherits values. If no theme is set, Xcursor uses
'default'
Xcursor.dither/XCURSOR_DITHER threshold/median/ordered/diffuse
Dithering algorithm when creating core cursors. Xcursor transforms
an ARGB cursor into a two color cursor with one of these algorithms
(yes, only ordered and diffuse are really dithers). The default
is ordered, which is a 2x2 ordered dither.
Xcursor.theme_core/XCURSOR_THEME_CORE
If the server doesn't support ARGB cursors, this value controls
whether Xcursor goes ahead and themes core cursors using the core
cursor requests.
