The setting is not in the "xfwm4" channel, buit in the "xsettings" channel

I can toggle between "default" and "elementary" theme via:

$ xfconf-query --channel xsettings --property /Gtk/CursorThemeName --set 
default
$ xfconf-query --channel xsettings --property /Gtk/CursorThemeName --set 
elementary

Cheers, Alex
