I set the cursor theme and size in my ~/.Xresources:

------------8<--------------
Xcursor*theme: aero-large-drop
Xcursor*size: 24
Xft.dpi: 100
------------8<--------------

and merge it in ~/.xinitrc:

------------8<--------------
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
------------8<--------------

Cheers,
Sergey
