Bug Description

This should work but does nothing on a hoary system. It works fine on a Debian
unstable box
* echo "Xcursor.size:12" | xrdb -merge -
* xterm
=> small cursor in the xterm area
* echo "Xcursor.size:24" | xrdb -merge -
=> bigger cursor in the xterm area

The cursors don't have multiple sizes, apparently. You'll need to do something
like XCURSOR_SIZE=64 xsetroot -cursor_name gorilla, or something. If it had
multiple sizes. :)

fixed in breezy -- use libXcursor and a capable libX11 rather than resources
