the problem: some apps, a blank workspace and the border around windows all show the default "X" mouse cursor.

It's the same for me, but on Debian Etch. I've never considered this a bug, but maybe it is?!

It's not a bug, you just have to set your cursor at start up :)

I've got an xmonad-session script that starts up xmonad with a load of other stuff. What I'm doing to fix the cursor is:

/usr/bin/xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

aha, perfect. thanks A
