You have other serious system issues not affiliated with Audacious if this is the case.
If "I don't run gnome" is considered "other serious system issues", I suppose so.
Restarting didn't help, I still had the wrong cursor in emacs and firefox, but only the emacs and firefox run remotely back to my display, the local emacs and firefox had the right cursors. I still can't figure out how to get rid of the wrong cursor without also getting rid of the right cursors, so I'm currently *not* using Xcursor because the theme stuff is so confusing.
