Before anybody says it :
I have searched on "howto change X11 cursors" and other similar keywords
My problem is that it doesn't matter where I set the cursor viz. Xdefaults (when using fluxbox/openbox/icewm) or in gnome-properties (when using gnome) the new (intented) cursor just flashes for a second or so while logging in and then changes back to the default x cursor. I have even tried changing the cursor in the GTK or icon theme I am using but again uselessly.
:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
I have installed many themes (both using pacman and copied into my .icons folder).
Please help.

Try putting
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
(exactly that) in your .xinitrc before your wm.

well, you can always just change the default X cursor on a systemwide basis, by creating an index.theme file in /usr/share/icons/default/ (may have to create the default folder)
and putting in:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=[insert your cursor theme without the brackets of course]
in the theme file. That way, your display manager will also adopt your chosen cursor theme.
NB. This assumes the cursor theme is saved to /usr/share/icons and not the .icons folder of your user.
