Yes, I found that message before I posted to debian-user. I don't have
artwiz-cursor installed. However, attempting to install it is
illuminating:
$ apt-get install artwiz-cursor

I do (did) have xfonts-artwiz installed. So, that provides some explanation
for the original error message in XFree86.0.log about being unable to find
the 'cursor' font. Assuming that the problem with diversion of the font
(whatever that means) remains.
However, I find that I simply can't install artwiz-cursor, even if I purge
xfonts-artwiz from my system (below). Any ideas on how to proceed?
