I've noticed this too, but haven't complained about it. I didn't realize the problem was specific to the -multiwindow window manager. If this is true, than -multiwindow is not behaving as expected nor as other window managers behave wrt default cursors. The xsetroot is a work-around, but it seems to me this should be regarded as a bug in the window manager. The 'X' should be the default cursor when over the root window but an arrow when over an application window. Since -multiwindow doesn't really have a visible root window, it seems like permanently changing the default cursor to a pointer would be a good/quick solution. My $.02 Cary
