Have found this same issue as well. The main mouse pointer does not change, yet the others like busy or select, or resize window do change.
Is there anyway of changing the main white pointer...

Re: Mouse cursors do not change to selected theme
I had that problem in Mint 9 but never solved it or looked for the answer and in Mint 10 had problems with my left-handed mouse pointer becoming right-handed in QT apps. That was fixed after a bit of Googling with the command:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
and choosing my cursor set from there. No guarantee it will help

Re: Mouse cursors do not change to selected theme
its probably compiz overriding the cursor settings. i had selected dmz-black ,yet it showed white one.
i just changed 'visual-effects' to 'none' in gnome-appearance-properties and cursors were back to normal.
my suggestion would be to disable visual-effects, choose your cursor, then re-enable the effects , whenever you wish to change your cursor.
PS: i am using isadora 32bit. let me know if above works on other versions too. \m/
EDIT:
first enter the update-alternatives command as given by beerislife. then do as i've written above to refresh the cursors. it should work now.

Windows assumes I'm stupid but Linux proves it.
