I don't really see a question?  I've never used big-cursor pkg, but I 
guess it might have some issue with configuration?  Have you tried 
something like this? 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_Themes#X_resources

Is it really necessary to hammer the list with questions about your 
stretch upgrade?  Many people did this a couple yrs ago and many of the 
problems are documented on the interwebs.

Yes. This is what this list is for. Not everyone has your skill level.

You don't like a question? You don't know the answer? You pressed?
Don't answer. Someother will.

Just so you know, this line has to be in the headers for it to work.
You're sending it as the first line of the body (after the blank line
that separates headers from the body). This only pollutes the message,
and still breaks the thread.

This link was the catalyst needed to propel me into solving my 
problem, which involved commands such as:

# apt-get install xcursor-themes
# update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

You really ought to avoid that sort of unpleasantness on the 
list.

What's an "emporer?"

Thank you

These are not the droids you are looking for.
