Do you mean mouse cursors? If so, let me ask, why do you need them on Windows 
which already have its set? (the same for GNOME/Mac/whatever).

I am asking because I do not want to break user's experience by pretending 
that KDE apps on Windows (and Mac) are not native.

Feel free to present your opinion and points.

My message would be "we stay as native as possible" and "want the same 
experience with plasma and cool mouse cursors - go to Linux/BSD".
That said, oxy cursors as an nondefault option are OK for me...

PS:
For those that do not remember how messy can app that redefines cursors and 
style look, I'd say - try to run Winamp...

For me cursors are the part of operating system's internals, not per-window 
setting.
