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!
