Hi Alexander,

That is it.  Thank you!

Default:
<property name="CursorThemeName" type="string" value="default"/>

Adwaita:
<property name="CursorThemeName" type="string" value="default"/>

MATE:
<property name="CursorThemeName" type="string" value="mate"/>

"MATE (Black)"
<property name="CursorThemeName" type="string" value="mate-black"/>


Follow up question:

$ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s mate
$ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s mate-black
$ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s mate

Do nothing.  How do I change the mouse theme from
the command line?
