The very old magic for this used to be edit the appropriate file in /etc/X11/app-defaults
for instance the following will change the default cursor when you hover over a running instance of "xclock" echo 'XClock.*cursor: iron_cross' >> /etc/X11/app-defaults/XClock I believe this works with all xlib based apps. There was some foo around the naming of the above file and application (first two letters are caps) they I can't quite remember. Also in this case the cursor must be monochrome (xbm defined) cursor registered by the X server. Hopefully this gives you a clue where to look.
