Lubuntu 14.04 + TightVNC: remote mouse cursor is "X"
After researching into each command used in my xstartup file and the options available, I found the solution to be adding the following parameters to xsetroot:
-cursor_name left_ptr
So, my xstartup file now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey -cursor_name left_ptr
autocutsel -fork
lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
