Go to /usr/X11/lib/X11/icons there you'll find a few folders like
'whiteglass' 'redglass' 'pseudocore'... there'll also be one named 'default',
in it will be a file called 'index.theme', it will have 'inherits=core', and
all I did, was change the 'core' to 'whiteglass' (no quotes of course
anywhere), then logged out and logged back in, and wallah...a nice
semi-transparent whitish cursor (the 'watch' that does the thing like the
'hourglass' does, is a bit too small though if you ask me). I like it, and
the red is nice too.
Just in case that doesn't 'do it', go into your home directory, in the
.Xdefaults and add/change just above where it starts to talk about "Here are
the Xaw3D definitions... (give it a couple blank spaces between your
new/changed line and the Xaw3D paragraph), Inherits=whiteglass (or redglass)
and logout and back in. This worked for me with 8.2, and should for you also.

I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko,
and Linux penguin. So I went out and
caught this huge ugly blue and red
and green and yellow butterfly.
They won't need fresh food for 3 months now.
