This is a critical bug and should have been fixed by now. 1) You're very welcome trying to fix it and NMU it. I only have so much time to fix bugs. 2) Stop spamming me and the BTS, or use -quiet, I already receive a copy of the mail you send to the BTS. 3) I'm going to explain what's going on (or what I think is going on): xfonts-gimpers was piggy-backing on xfonts-artwiz' diversion of the cursor font, so that xfonts-artwiz and xfonts-gimpers could be installed at the same time. xfonts-artwiz split up the cursor and the fonts at some point, that's where the mess begins. I don't know what's happening, but when you upgrade xfonts-artwiz, it removes the X cursor. If somebody knows how to fix/debug this problem, I'd be very happy.
