Is there a way to use the xcursor theme arrow pointer in dnd operations instead the default X11 ugly one?

I mean when you are dragging some file in dolphin and the nice oxy-white arrow pointer changes to the X11 standard black arrow.

As far as I know this isn't possible due to limitations in X ( otherwise it would likely have been implemented )

I hoped that nearly fifty years of ugly X arrow pointers were more then enough. :((

I did some more checks, and it turns out to be a limitation of the graphical frameworks. As of Qt 4.7, this limitation will be removed from Qt, thus KDE applications will no longer be affected.
