Tested in Lucid. Issue is still present. After installing kubuntu-
desktop, GNOME uses KDE pointers when moving a gnome-panel item (4
pointed star cursor shows up). I believe that the issue is that KDE
forces a replacement of the default cursor with its own. By going into
appearance properties and changing the cursor from Default to DMZ
(Black) this should correct the problem. How come Kubuntu becomes the
default x-cursor-theme?

Shouldn't X be left alone and each desktop environments own appearance
manager manages cursor in its own interface. Looking further, shouldn't
each user have the ability to use their own cursor theme as they wish
without X defaults getting in the way?
