thank you! I was able to select a theme that suited me better using
(under Debian)
        sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

Now I am looking for a way to disable the arrow-cursor that is
mirrored directions when you hover the mouse over an object that can
be clicked and use the normal error for it.
But somehow I can't find the file that holds the cursors themselves.
Otherwise I could delete the mirrored arrow file and use a symlink
pointing to the original arrow.

I feel that there could be less different mouse cursors in Pd in
general, somehow it is already quite a lot:

Non-edit mode:
    Arrow over canvas
    Arrow over clickable objects facing other direction (necessary?)

Edit-mode:
    Edit arrow
    Patch-cord cycle
    Select patchcord for deletion
    Change object size via right border 

but that's just my 2 cents and possibly not worth spending time on.

best, P
