I don't think I posted this before. The cursor changes depending what it's over, and if you've got something like an 1920x1080 screen full of mostly rxvt windows then most of the time it's an I-beam. That can be hard to spot if you've looked away or been away. MS Windows, XP at least, has an option to go to a big cursor if you do something like hold down a ctrl key by itself for more than 2 seconds. The activating keystroke could be different but is there an easy way to do that with X? Something so the application-specified cursor gets overridden temporarily and you get a cursor that jumps out at you? Big, animated, flashing, something that doesn't blend into the desktop? Then back to normal once you let go of that key.
I spend about 99% of my time in X these days, there isn't much I'd change. Window manager of choice is rxvt, OS is OpenBSD.
