I would argue that the emblems are too small _in relation to_ the size
of the cursor graphic.

The colors are so similar that the emblem and the icon totally blend
together. That is not a matter of taste.

I can accept that this cursor theme is like this, but then I would
have to file a bug against another debian package -- since I think it
is a usability bug to use this theme by default for Gnome.
