I have the cursors with your build.

I don't know about that old Mac - it should support OSX just like any  
other G4.  Maybe there is a graphics card issue (slow/features)?  Or  
maybe it's the OS - are you running Panther or Tiger on it?  If Qt is  
tapping into the system for some graphic formats, Panther might not  
support XPM images correctly.  Quicktime?


PS. this isn't your main Mac is it?  I had to drop back to an 867 MHz  
PB (I already passed my faster PB on to someone else at work) while  
my MacBook is in the shop, and running heavy-duty stuff like graphics  
apps and Xcode builds is painful.  I'm spoiled. ^_^
