What I do is yum install bluecurve-cursor-theme gnome-themes-extras
oxygen-cursor-themes oxygen-icon-theme
Then you will find you can change the cursor from dmz-aa to clearlooks
or one of the others you may prefer.

What I did was a bit more radical/technical. I went over to
kde-look.org & picked a cursor theme which didn't make my eyes bleed,
Polar-cursor-themes is what I finally settled on. Now dmz* is pulled
in by libXcursor so I rebuilt it and put the dependency on my new
cursors job done. Next time I respin my desktop dmz* is never involved
:-) I can fpaste specfiles for those who want to follow at home.
