With xfce4-terminal I have faced the same situation as Chris. The cursor has been the tiny one.

Finally I experimented with the files in /usr/share/icons. There is an directory /usr/share/icons/default. It references cat /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [Icon Theme] Inherits=Adwaita Just for testing with almost no hope I renamed the directory to /usr/share/icons/ddefault which seems to deactivate some default stuff. May be there is an official way to deactivate the default icon theme. If yes, this should be the way to go. After this change the cursor of the dmz-theme has been available running xfce4-terminal. The configuration is in ~/.Xresources as below. Xcursor.theme:DMZ-White Xcursor.size:48 Kind regards, Christoph -- Ist die Katze gesund schmeckt sie dem Hund.
