I'm really not too happy with Unity on 11.10, so I decided to go back to
KDE to see if I like it better and I think I do. But I would like to
know how to re-size the mouse pointer so it is a bit larger.

Also, the mouse ponter has a funny behavior in that when I place it on
top of a clickable link, for example, the mouse pointer turns side-ways,
but does not turn into the typical hand-like image you often see - it
remains a pointer, but becomes side-ways. I do not like that effect.
Any easy way to change it?
