Yeah, so, how's that work? I notice I can set my cursor with "xsetroot -cursor," but the XBM files it accepts look like crud compared to the nice little white-edged blue arrow WindowMaker gives me. Just curious as to "where" that cursor is, so to speak. The documentation makes no mention of it.

I believe that it is X11, not your window manager, that controlls the cursors. You can try this.

You're right, it's X11 that's in charge of cursors. (As it turns out, the "nice little white-edged blue arrow" I mentioned is just part of Redhat's Bluecurve theme.) Thanks for the link, that led me to figure out how to change them. In case anyone else cares to know, they're managed by Xcursor (see the man page). "xcursorgen" can make cursors, even animated ones, out of ordinary PNG's. The cursors themselves are stored in the "cursors" directory for a given theme (as freedesktop.org describes them), for example, /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/cursors. Now if I can just figure out how X decides which theme to use (seems like it just looks at the "default" directory)...
