Changing a mouse cursor

["Larry W. Virden" <lvirden cas org>]

Under other desktops, a user reports he was able to change
his mouse to a large yellow X, which he found preferable.
This change would take place and the new mouse would be usable
on the two displays of his desktop.

Under Sun's GNOME , when he tries the same command, the cursor on
one of the displays changes, temporarily.  But then something in
GNOME seems to change it back.

I know about the 4 mouse cursor shapes available under
Applications->Desktop Preferences->Mouse .  However, he really
would like his previous mouse.

Is there some way to affect a 'permanent' mouse cursor change
for both monitors?
