Here's how you get the "Warty" pointer back:


How to install X11 cursors
 From Tryphon

Installation example

We are going to install the http://jimmac.musichall.cz's jimmac cursors 
based theme.

     * It can be downloaded here: 
http://kdelook.org/content/files/6550-Jimmac.tar.gz
     * Decompress the file, and extract the folder Jimmac/jimmac to 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons.
     * Extract the file Jimmac/default/index.theme to /etc/X11/cursors 
and rename it jimmac.theme.
     * In order to add the jimmac theme to the x-cursor-theme debian 
alternative:

sudo update-alternatives --install 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme x-cursor-theme 
/etc/X11/cursors/jimmac.theme 19

     * Choose the number that correspond to the jimmac.theme file:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

There are 5 alternatives which provide `x-cursor-theme'.

   Selection    Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
       1        /etc/X11/cursors/core.theme
       2        /etc/X11/cursors/redglass.theme
       3        /etc/X11/cursors/whiteglass.theme
       4        /etc/X11/cursors/handhelds.theme
*+    19       /etc/X11/cursors/jimmac.theme

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:

Now, you have to log out and log in, in order to see the new cursors in 
action :)

Enjoy!

David
