In addition to Glyn's answer, I've also noticed the following environment
variables:
XCURSOR_THEME can be set to the name of the theme you want before
you start X. Right now, you're seeing the
'redglass' theme. You might set it to 'whiteglass'
if you want to use the new-style cursors, but don't
want them to be red.
The available themes are found under
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons
XCURSOR_CORE can be set to true to indicate that you want to force the
use of the 'core cursors' (the original flat cursors)
instead of the cursors that use the new Render extension.
In my case, I'm starting X using XDM, and I'm setting these preferences
in my ~/.xsession script. Works nicely.
