That's insulting. Chris is quite right. Terminals commonly have the means to alter some attributes of the terminal cursor, but never the X cursor in my experience. I just checked the terminals I have and they don't. (I don't have xfterminal so maybe that is somehow an exception, but TBH I doubt it). It's up to you to clarify explicitly that you did understand we're talking about the X cursor and you did mean it, IMHO.
