Thanks, Slávek. I have installed both comixcursors (virtual package), comixcursors-righthanded-opaque, big-cursor and dmz-cursor-theme. At that point I saw no point in installing any more packages with cursor themes. comixcursors installs only small cursors in the combination 8 and 14 (cf my earlier correspondence on this list with Gene), so as I say I am waiting for Stretch. Meanwhile I was trying to get one of the others going. Since I have located big-cursor it seemed the most likely to succeed. I know that dmz is there - it is in the control center list but will not "work" - but I haven't narrowed its location down yet. I'll try Nik's suggestion.
