Cursor is missing!

I just did a fresh install of arch and every thing went well. When i startx into xfce4 (or fluxbox) my cursor is missing. I can still right click and get a menu but theres no cursor image. I did notice that my cursors are stored in /usr/share/icons instead of /usr/share/cursors like in gentoo. I tried cping them over to /usr/share/cursors/ but still no cursor. I have search around and doesnt seem like anyone else has this problem.

Re: Cursor is missing!

What might work is if you make sure that a cursor theme is specified by creating (or amedning) an Xdefaults file

echo Xcursor.theme: themename >> .Xdefaults

I had similar problems with fvwm and that fixed it for me
