I would love to get rid of it completely.  I changed my mouse pointer theme to 
Oxygen Black in KDE's System Settings.  That worked fine except in Firefox and 
Google Chrome.  There I still have the ugly hand.  I even changed 
"/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme" to read as follows:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Oxygen_Black

After logging out and logging back in, I still have that ugly hand.

What I would also love to get rid of is the little animation that takes place by 
the cursor when it is waiting for something to complete.  I looked through the 
mouse pointer themes in System Settings for one that did not have that 
animation, or just some way to shut it off, all to no avail...  Yes, I have 
Launch Feedback set to "No Busy Cursor."

Anyway, any wisdom you can give me is greatly appreciated.
