There is no cursor context NORMAL (there is DEFAULT), so I don't know what
exactly worked for you.

The pixmap cursor should be xpm with 3 colors:

  None - the transparent part
  black - outer cursor color (foreground)
  white - inner cursor color (background)

As usual you may specify actual colors in the CursorStyle command itself:

  CursorStyle ROOT top_left_arrow.xpm yellow navy

If you have fvwm-themes, take a look under themes/multichoice/cursors/,
there are several pixmap cursor configs and xpms.

Send your waitcursorshade pixmap if you still have problems with it.

Regards,
Mikhael.
