The Xorg changelog doesn't mention anything about this.I did not have time to try the upgrade myself yet, but I noticed that there is a new package called "xcursor-themes". Maybe installing that will be enough to bring the cursors back.
OK, so now I tried the upgrade myself and I found out that this is not
true. Normally you should be able to do
sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
and select any of the installed themes. However, X now completely
ignores this setting on my computer.
The easiest way to work around this seems to be creating a symlink in
~/.icons of your regular user:
$ mkdir ~/.icons # if it does not exist already
$ cd ~/.icons
$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/whiteglass default
That should bring the whiteglass cursor back. Of course, if you use a
graphical log-in you will still see the ugly black theme in the
beginning.
