IIRC, the default mouse cursor is changed from 'X' to the left pointer 
in the: startkde script.

There should be a line like:

	xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

You can choose different default cursors.  They are listed in:

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/cursorfont.h

Note that the names in the header file have: 'XC_' perpended to the 
name -- in case that isn't obvious.
