can't get rid of xfwm on gnome over vnc


I connected to my debian pc using vnc with xfce4-session in my ~/.vnc/xstartup file and it worked. Then I switched to gnome-session. It works except for some reason now I can't get rid of the xfce4/xfwm mouse cursor when I'm using gnome.

The cursor is black and it turns into a stopwatch icon when a window is loading. Sometimes it turns into the xfwm finger thing. This only happens over VNC and I can get the normal gnome default cursor when I log in physically.

It's not that the cursor is so bad or anything it's just I want to know how to change it. I tried metacity --replace but it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to avoid uninstalling xfce4 because I like it sometimes. Any ideas?

This happens even when you connect and start your sessions with gnome-session?
