How does one change the X cursor in Gentoo?

I've read up on how to change the X cursor and came up with,

xsetroot -cursor_name draped_box
xsetroot -cursor_name hand1
xsetroot -cursor_name hand2
xsetroot -cursor_name iron_cross
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
xsetroot -cursor_name plus
xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow
xsetroot -cursor_name watch

Supposidly, one could change the cursor to what they want, and to make it perminant you would put it in the .Xclients file.

Welp, needless to say... I'm still stuck with an ugly X cursor upon XFree's startup. Got fluxbox/gnome going strong, just wondering what else needed to be done to add those. Do I need to emerge bitmaps for X or something? -- psi29a
