The 'From cl' in abvove statement was supposed to mean it was done
from the command line, so shouldn't have been any need for restarting.

However I have since placed the correct path as above in a file at:
~/.xinitrc (this one starts xfce too)

and at ~/.xfce/xinitrc as another poster suggested.

No errors are produced when starting X or at the command line with
the above command.  However I see no change whatever in the cursor.
