But after that I'VE SPENT AN HOUR and it didn't work, because of this: Inherits=cursor_theme <--- THIS shitty name should be with dots? Or, with underscores?? Maybe it's not a cursor name, just the name of catalogue??? After I followed these instructions, all worked in about 3 minutes. But after that I’VE SPENT AN HOUR and it didn’t work, because of this:

The way to get rid of a damn annoying cursor theme, system-wide, is to run "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" and select the one that you've found least displeasing. This works beautifully with the package manager also. Hope this helps anyone who comes across here with the same question I had. Hi, found this article by Google so I figure others will also.
