There is interest among some of the users here to personalize, if you will,
their X environments to the extent of changing the default "X" cursor to
something more dear to their hearts: a coffee mug, a beer mug, whatever.
Is there a way to do this (xset, xinit, Xsun, etc do not seem to have any
relevant option; I tried "fc" in Xsun and got a blank cursor instead...
this option presumably defines a cursor file, not a specific image in the
cursor font file).
Is there any way to do this?  Will I break someone's {heart|software|copyright|
law} if I do so?  Is such a change user-configurable (note that recompiling
the server with another DefaultCursorFont is not what I mean by user-config)
	Thanks for your time...
