That's possible, but I think that's a bug; I'm pretty sure this is
expected to work on all platforms.

M-x set-face-foreground RET pointer RET red RET
gives the expected result for me ("almost 21.5.24" --with-xft and some
other stuff that I doubt is relevant). There are some anomolies; you
do not get the requested color scheme on true widgets or the gutters
(but I do get it on the toolbar and modeline, of course those are not
true widgets, they're actually graphics drawn into the Emacs window).
note that i changed something related to mouse pointers a few months
ago. conceivably this broke something; but if so, it shouldn't work
currently, as it apparently does for stephen.
