I answer to Majestyx, comment #37: I was in your exact situation and I workarounded the problem simply removing the file /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme; after that I also noticed that some other problems disappeared (i.e. the cursor theme wasn't always the same in every application, but somewhere was the default one specified in /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme, and somewhere was the theme I had choosen).
It seems to me that somewhere the /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme is predominant; but if this is the case, how can a user change it without administrative rights? I mean, when you change your PC appearance (your theme) you do it without administrative rights, so how can you possibly hope to change the /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme content?
