I installed LXDE a while back just to try it out, and the first time I logged into it, it gave me a different (kind of clumsy looking IMO) mouse cursor. In the end I chose not to use LXDE, but for some strange reason, even in Gnome, I'm stuck with their cursor. I've tried changing it back in multiple appearance setting dialogs.
Is there a way I can force the cursor to go back?
Also, I've noticed that in some apps I get the old cursor and in some I get the new one.

I have LXDE installed in Lucid. The system-wide cursor theme is set in the /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file. For example, here's what I currently have in that file:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=DMZ-Black
The default was:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=DMZ-White

I just use this work around:

Pretty much what malspa is talking about.
EDIT - That is if you have compiz enabled. I haven't tried it without compiz yet.

Thank you very much for your help. I did have compiz enabled, and that did fix it.
