 cursors that it uses, and get back the traditional black ones.

I've been looking at this myself.  `man Xcursor` will give you a bit more
information, but if you edit the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme and remove the line

Inherits=redglass

or change it to 

Inherits=

then startx again, it should revert to the solid cursor.

I've just found a way to do this on a per-user basis, too.  Create a
~/.icons/default/index.theme reading

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=

Also, some window managers might be able to load their own cursors.  YMMV.

Or export XCURSOR_THEME=default.

Ah, that does the job even better.  (`Admirably' is probably the word I'm
looking for.)  What manpage have you been reading that I missed?
