gome-terminal/gnome Xresources

[Chris Oxenreider <oxenreid state net>]

I have grown fussy in my 12 years of UNIX administration, and I enjoy
making my environment the way I like it.   The Fedora default "I" beam
cursor is too large and so much like a stealth airplane for me.

I would like to know what the name of the Xresource is to change the
pointer shape in gnome-terminal (and perhaps other input dialog text
areas).

In the good old days(TM) you used to be able to set this in your
.Xdefaults with a line similar to:
XTerm*pointerShape:         left_ptr

There must be the equivalent to this in gnome.  Or, under the heading of
"BRUTE FORCE", where is the bitmap for the "I" beam cursor and I will
copy over the 'left_ptr' to the "I" beam cursor bitmap, and solve it
that way.

Executive Summery:

    How do I get rid of the _STEALTH_ "I" beam pointer and get back a
    nice small left_ptr pointer (optionally in the color of my choice).
