     none of the following have any effect on xterm's cursor.  is this
     feature not supported?

   [wohler@coco0:110]% xterm -xrm "xterm*pointerShape: gumby"
   [wohler@coco0:111]% xterm -xrm "xterm*pointerShape: XC_gumby" 
   [wohler@coco0:112]% xterm -xrm "xterm*pointerShape: 56"
   [wohler@coco0:113]% xterm -xrm "xterm*pointerShape: \56"

Its "supported" but only for the values "xterm" and "arrow" which
isn't made clear in the manual page, but is in the code.  Any value
that isn't "arrow" is defaulted to "xterm".  Maybe this will one day
be fixed (or eliminated).
