I dont like the cursors used, and I want to replace them with some other cursors, but I can't find where they are stored. I did locate *.cur in the root directory and found nothing....anyone able to help with this?

First of all, please stop using colors in your posts :) it's really harder to read, especially in this case.

Second, with locate it doesn't matter in which dir you are, it just searches a database.

Third, cursors in XFree86 don't have a .cur extension.

Now to answer your actualy question:
on my box (Debian) they're stored in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
If this dir doesn't exist on your distro, try to find them like this:
locate cursor | grep ".gz$"
The 'locate cursor' searches for all filenames/dirs which contain the word 'cursor', and 'grep' filters the output. in this case, it only shows the lines which contain .gz at the end (the '$' means the '.gz' has to be the end of the filename).
.gz means the file is compressed with GNU zip, which is always the case with cursors.
