I think that there are left-handed mouse pointers in several of the mouse
themes. I know there's a lefty one in redglass, which I use (I'm
left-handed as well, though I use the redglass right pointer, because
that's how it usually was and I grew accustomed to it. But I use the
redlass theme and I see that there's a left pointer.) And I'm not sure but
they may be .png files, so if you find a theme you like it *might* be
possible to open it in the GIMP or something, flip it, and save it under
its original name. Just remember to have a terminal open to start kcontrol
to get out of it if it doesn't work. If it is .png, then it can be made
transparent, but I don't know an opposite-of-transparent thing that
follows whatever's behind it.
