Hello!
I am using fluxbox with the "gentoo blue" cursor from x11-themes/blueglass-xcursors-0.4 for about a year now and never had problems with it.

But yesterday I updated several packages (gtk+, glib, pango etc. etc.) and now the cursor grows bigger in some X applications. For example, if I use a normal xterm, the cursor's size is normal. It's normal if I move it anywhere.
But in some applications it is twice as big as normally, it just switches when you go into that window. It's bigger everywhere. If you go over the title it's small again.
XChat is even more strange: the cursor has it's normal size, but when you enter  any box where you can type, it's twice as big as before.

With the normal "core" cursor everything is ok.

I'd REALLY like to see this bug fixed as I dislike the normal "core" cursor very much and got used to "gentoo-blue" :|

This seems to be an issue with gtk+ apps.  It seems gtk+ does not respect the cursor in ~/.Xdefaults.  As a work around you can set the cursor and size in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
gtk-cursor-theme-size = 16 (set to correct size)
gtk-cursor-theme-name = "whiteglass" (set to correct theme)

Thanks for the fast reply & help!
I'd really like to see it fixed in GTK... :)

Uhm, just a question: are you working on this? Or shall I try to contact the GTK+ guys?!?

Does the workaround by Sean work for you?

Yes it does. But as you know a real fix is the way to go.

This bug seems related (dups?) to this one: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118439
