>Description:
	After installing adwaita-icon-theme, I had issues setting it up,
	even though I added Adwaita to my .Xresources.

	In most distros I've used, that should be sufficient.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install netbsd, adwaita-icon-theme, add Xcursor*theme: Adwaita
	to .Xresources. On CWM, the cursor theme is not applied.

	Similarly adding Adwaita to Xresources for xdm does not apply 
	it.

>Fix:
	The reason I think it occurs is because XCURSOR_PATH does not include

	/usr/pkg/share/icons

	by default.

	Therefore, updating the environment variable to include the path
	should fix it.

	Another way to solve it is by symlinking Adwaita cursor theme folder to
	/usr/share/icons, but that seems like a less good solution.

	I am happy to supply my first patch as I want to contribute.  However
	before that, I'd love to get feedback on where it is most appropriate
	to make the changes.  My thinking is:

	- Change default Xsession for xdm to include the environment variable 
	XCURSOR_PATH set to include /usr/pkg/share/icons

	- Change default .profile to include the environment variable 
	XCURSOR_PATH set to include /usr/pkg/share/icons

	Would that be appropriate?
