Thanks Jerry for your workaround but before I use it what exactly does it do and can it be undone?!
I am giving one of the laptops to my daughter and am reluctant to apply your workaround until I understand better what it does as she will not be using the terminal except by my remote control.
I was thinking of manually editing the /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file to "Inherits=DMZ-Black", which should work as long as you want Black cursor theme as default (MX-16 has this in their file as they use a default dark theme on the desktop).
I tried Peppermint 8 and it works fine by default but I did notice the cursor changes from default white to black after user login and late in rest of bootup sequence (I know it is a mix of XFCE and LXDE but file setup for cursor theme is as for Linux Lite).
I also checked Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE but it fails in the same way that Linux Lite does.
Sorry cannot suggest alternative cursor themes as all distros I have seen use same themes.
