[Solved] where are the files for Xorg's default cursor theme?

It appears to be a complex protocol that indeed needs to be implemented by the app or toolkit.

GNUser:
Thank you, curaga. Very interesting. I'm glad I decided to look into this minor nuisance because it led me down some deep and heretofore unexplored rabbit holes.

I guess it's possible that freedesktop.org solutions are complex because they tend to address complex problems. But it's also possible that the freedesktop folks just like to make things more complicated. Who knows.

Thread may be marked as solved.

One last thing: It turns out that  xcursor-themes.tcz  is not actually required by Xorg--and, in my case, its presence on my system was a red herring. Why not remove it from Xorg-7.7.tcz.dep? Removing it would be in keeping with TCL's philosophy of no bloat (i.e., if it's present on the system then it's either required or the user specifically asked for it).

Done. :)

GNUser:
FWIW I removed xcursor-themes.tcz from Xorg-7.7.tcz.dep on all my machines that have a GUI, deleted xcursor-themes.tcz from tce/optional, rebooted. Default cursor theme continues to work perfectly across all GUI applications.

I think xcursor-themes.tcz could be safely removed from repo's Xorg-7.7.tcz.dep
