There is no cursor context NORMAL (there is DEFAULT), so I don't know what
exactly worked for you.
The pixmap cursor should be xpm with 3 colors:
None - the transparent part
black - outer cursor color (foreground)
white - inner cursor color (background)
As usual you may specify actual colors in the CursorStyle command itself:
CursorStyle ROOT top_left_arrow.xpm yellow navy
If you have fvwm-themes, take a look under themes/multichoice/cursors/,
there are several pixmap cursor configs and xpms.
Send your waitcursorshade pixmap if you still have problems with it.
Regards,
Mikhael.
