Thank you for the tip.   It will be nice to have a mouse pointer I can see.

But, my request still stands.  XFce should be a little more friendly than
requiring manual entries in .Xresources.  Do you remember when you first
used vi?  XFce needs to be usable for the general public as well as us
Linux heads: XFce is an awesome piece of programming and should attempt
to appeal to a wider audience than just us linux heads!
