I ran into the same problem with CDE on Solaris 2.5.1. To fix this I
placed the following line in my ~/.dt/sessions/sessionetc file:

xpmroot /usr/local/include/X11/pixmaps/background5.xpm &

or something like

xsetroot -bitmap new_spegetti.bmp -fg "#880000" -bg "#480000"

It seems that setting the root window returns the cursor to normal
when it is done.

I hope this helps,
Carvel
