I advocate Rubens approach here. Life is sometimes too damn short to look for
whatever or wherever the hell X wants to put things. Take apart the little
crosshair applet, figure out where they store the silly images, rename the
current one and I recommend a symlink to the one that you want. As always
leave yourself some documentation and a trail of breadcrumbs so that you can
get back when you change your mind in three months. Good luck.

If you can find the image on your filesystem, you can simply replace it with
the image you'd rather see.It's a dirty hack for sure, but will get the job
done!

default X cursor.
I'd like to change my default X cursor from the small black arrow to a
crosshair. The command "xsetroot -cursor_name crosshair" works, but for
xterm windows only. I've tried putting the command in .xinitrc and
themes in .Xdefaults without success.
What works? I simply want to see the crosshair cursor everywhere I now
see the small black arrow.
