xcursor-themes - cursors images for the X window system.

The package comes with three cursor themes : 'redglass', 'whiteglass'
and 'handhelds'. Additionally selecting the 'core' theme switches back
to the traditional X server "core" cursors.

To use the new cursors
- set the environment variable XCURSOR_PATH to
"~/.icons:${PREFIX}/lib/X11/icons"

- either :
a) set the XCURSOR_THEME environment variable to one of the theme names
b) create ~/.icons/default/index.theme containing (for example to use
the whiteglass theme):

-- Cut --
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=whiteglass
-- Cut --

The XCURSOR_SIZE environment variable can be used to set the size of
the cursors.
