For your off-list question on how to mirror the cursor: 

you have 2 options: 

1) go to your themes directory, e.g. /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/. Modify the symlinks so that you have right pointers where left pointers were. Restart your X session. As usual, you can work on a copy etc.

2) take out the scalpel and start the real fun. The GNOMEs of GNOMEistan have savely removed the PNGs from the sources of their themes, only xcursor-themes is complete. So either stay with xcursor-themes get "xcur2png" -
https://web.archive.org/web/20120710014541/http://cli-apps.org/content/show.php/xcur2png?content=86010 - the sources are at https://github.com/eworm-de/xcur2png - jost ./configure && make, komiles and works fine.

select a xcursor file, e.g "arrow", dissect the file:

$ xcur2png arrow

You now have some *.png and arrow.conf. Change the images as you like, then adapt the hotspot coordinate in *.conf. now reassamble the xcursor:

$ xcursorgen arrow.conf arrow-new

Replace the old "arrow" with "arrow-new", restart your x-session.

Oh, you can use gimp to look at the xcursor file, but I have not found a way to modify the hotspot with it.
