Thanks.
Actually, I did look at this,
but it seemed the only cursor themes available
(on my system) are dmz, dmz-aa and KDE Classic.
None of them seemed to have a very appropriate cursor
for the application I was using (inkscape).

Is there any way of specifying a particular cursor
for a particular role?
