Do not clear your .gnome directory... it has nothing to do with the root
mouse cursor, that is enlightenment's domain.

It sounds as if your enlightenment installation is broken... What version
of enlightenment do you have? What OS/distribution do you have? You need
to be more specific when reporting bugs. 

Slightly off-topic: Why call it themes and not borders? An E theme changes
the mouse cursors look, the fonts used to display window titles, the way
the window buttons are placed, what functions they will have, how the
menus look and what they contain and the root window's (background)
appearance. And there's probably more stuff that I forgot ;)
