On (07/08/13 17:29), Tim Hawes <t...@easyfreeunix.com> put forth the 
proposition:
xsetroot -cursor <cursor_file> <maskfile>

standard X11 cursor files and mask files are usually found under
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/

ex. xsetroot -cursor /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/left_ptr 
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/left_ptrmsk

I guess I'd have to set all the variations of left_ptr then,
individually? Left_ptr, right_ptr and so on?

Subject says it all really. I'm looking for something that will change
the cursor on the fly, without needing to restart X.

I use fluxbox, but I have KDE available and can change it with the
system settings app, but that loads a shedload of kde stuff.
