jim,
i use a different root window cursor, and it works fine for me. i have the
following in my .xinitrc, directly before starting the window manager:
sleep 3 && [ -f $CURSOR -a -f $CURSOR_MASK ] && \
xsetroot -cursor $CURSOR $CURSOR_MASK &
of course you'll have to provide values for CURSOR and CURSOR_MASK.
cheers,
